D -- COMMAND AND CONTROL SERVICES FOR LOCATIONS WITHIN THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES SOL F34601-97-R-0001-02 DUE 073197 POC 1st Lt Steve Colvin (405) 734-7364 FAX 734-7376 Contracting Officer: Leslie Pickens (405) 734-7364 In the synopsis that was posted on 13 June 97, submission number 084506, for Command and Control Services for locations within the 48 contiguous states. F34601-97-R-0001 was the wrong solicitation number and should have been F34608-97-R-0001.
