The County has opened a challenge period allowing interested contractors to submit clear and convincing information supporting their capability to provide the requisite proprietary components, with challenges to be submitted through the EUNA Procurement system by the specified close date. The award will be made following the challenge period unless competitive responses warrant conversion to a competitive solicitation.
