As noted in the 3/9/99 CDBNet synopsis, no paper copies of the solicitation will be issued to industry. The Government has tentatively scheduled a Pre-Solicitation Conference for all interested parties on Thursday, April 29, 1999 in San Diego, CA. Further details about the conference will be posted on the solicitation website (exact location, agenda, etc.). Potential offerors are encouraged to click on the "Join a Solicitation Specific mailing list" and complete the required information in order to receive immediate e-mail notification of new postings to this solicitation. In addition, potential offerors are encouraged to become registered users on the webpage in order to submit comments to the Government. Only written comments posted on the webpage (questions, suggestions, etc.) will be accepted by the Government. All comments (except company identification) submitted and the Government's responses will be posted on the solicitation website unless they are considered business proprietary. The Government will make every effort to post its responses on the website as soon as practicable. Comments submitted by April 22, 1999 will be given priority for answer & discussion at the Pre-Solicitation Conference over comments submitted after April 22nd, or on the day of the Pre-Solicitation Conference. Although industry comments may be posted to the website at anytime, comments received after the Pre-Solicitation Conference may not receive due consideration prior to the official RFP release. The Government will not delay release of the official RFP due to late submission of industry comments. Special attention is directed to Section L (clause L-13 and paragraph 2.8.3) of the draft Request for Proposal (RFP) in which potential offerors are requested to submit specific information by May 3, 1999. The Government will give full consideration to this input prior to establishing the final technical and supportability requirements into official solicitation.

The Government does not intend to issue any further CBD synopses except for announcing the official RFP release date.
