Client Authorization Letter NOTE TO OFFERORS: This procurement could be similar to commercial supplies/services. Therefore, to assist the Government's Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) in assessing your present and past performance on relevant commercial contracts, the following letter must be sent to your points of contact
