Interested vendors submit a capability summary of no more than 2 pages covering their capabilities and like-type work completed for the Government or commercial entities. Complete details, including site visit information, will be released with the solicitation.

Place of performance is Building 299, at the top of an existing ramp about 105 feet inward from the building's west exterior.
