The RFP Number for this acquisition is FA8770-01-R-0027. The performance period of any resultant contract is expected to be contract award through 30Jun02 and 3 twelve (12) month options. It is anticipated that any resultant contract will be awarded on a Cost Plus Award Fee Basis (CPAF). Capability statements are being requested from all interested contractors.
