Only companies maintaining such cleared facilities and the appropriate personnel clearances will be able to perform the resulting contract. The reference for the RFQ is RFQ-CO-115665-LSF and all correspondence concerning the RFQ should reference this number. The successful bidder(s) will be the bid(s) that offer the lowest price and are technically compliant in accordance with the evaluation criteria prescribed in the RFQ. The NCI Agency may award up to 3 IDIQ contracts, whereby individual Task Orders will be competed with the selected LSF IDIQ Framework Providers under such agreement(s). SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS Please see attached. These requirements are currently being refined as part of the preparation of the proposed RFQ; BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this project.
