IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO INTERESTED VENDORS

Interested vendors are required to complete, sign and return the attached Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) form in order to receive a copy of the full solicitation, and other important information necessary to provide a complete proposal for this effort. Vendors who do not submit an NDA, will not be provided with the full combined synopsis/solicitation and will not be eligible for award.

The signed NDA should be emailed to Franky Awuvey at franky.m.awuvey@oa.eop.gov and Gloria Norwood at Gloria.r.norwood@oa.eop.gov. Upon receipt of the signed NDA, the Government will issue to the vendor the full combined synopsis/solicitation and associated attachments.

It is the interested vendor’s responsibility to submit NDAs in advance of the proposal deadline, in order to receive the full solicitation.
