Once final details for a new date have been established a modification notice will be posted to FedBizOpps.

This is a Draft Request for Proposal so potential offerors have information required to assist them during the upcoming pre-proposal conference in Kuwait. Proposals will not be accepted based off of this Draft RFP.
