12 June 2018
1. Can companies from Outside USA can apply for this? (like, from India or Canada) Response: Only companies owned and operated within the United States will be able to propose for this requirement.
2. Whether we need to come over there for meetings?
Response: There are no meetings instituted within the solicitation.

4. Can we submit the proposals via email?
Response: In accordance with page 1 of the solicitation, “Proposals are to be submitted by email.”
