The document also confirms that unaccompanied base access is required and certain contractual sections (1.8.4, 1.8.6) are not applicable to this service contract, though Section 1.9 is required. This is a firm-fixed-price solicitation to be awarded to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quoter demonstrating responsible business practices and past performance, with quotes due per the SF1449 Block 8 deadline and questions due five business days prior to closing.
