If there are incumbent vendor(s), would you be able to provide the contract details (such as: Vendor Name, Contract Number, Award and end dates, total contract value)?

It is a re-compete. Data Integrators, Inc., 1331L523P13210105, end date is 9.5.2024.

2 Is an estimated value available for this potential requirement / project?

3 Are you the current Point of Contact for this effort? If not, may I ask who the current Point of Contact is?

Yes.

4 Attachment 3/Tentative Mailing Schedule clearly states the quantity per mailing, and whether the letter is single- or double-sided, however, there are no references to the additional “flyers” which may or may not accompany those letters, which will certainly affect the overall costs.

Currently we are not sending any flyers but included that language in case we decide to during the year.

5 Are there any specifications for the flyers? In the past our flyers have been single-sided 4 color, but again, we don't have any flyers currently in use.
