THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.

DBA Indus located in Braintree, Massachusetts for airport safety and security escort services for the New England WSC in Northborough, Massachusetts. The period of performance is 09/01/2024 to 09/30/2024.

Project work requires USGS teams to access and work on Lawrence G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, MA.
