Interested individuals may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by submitting in writing their name, address, telephone number, email, and a statement regarding capability to provide the specified work. Responses shall be limited to three (3) pages or less, including all attachments. Interested parties will be considered only if they respond to this notice with clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and is able to deliver the services needed.
