This SSN will close on 23 January 2024, at 1600 Eastern Time.� Any questions shall be submitted in writing to the identified Points of Contact.� Telephone inquiries and responses will not be accepted.� Statements of Interest must be submitted to Contract Specialist Robert Phelan at robert.c.phelan4.civ@army.mil and Contracting Officer Megan Sloan at megan.e.sloan2.civ@army.mil and should include Company Name, Address, Unique Entity Identifier, Cage Code, and Small Business Size.� The Government does not intend to award a new contract/order on the basis of this notice, or otherwise pay for the information requested.
