NOTE: No telephonic or written information will be provided in response to this pre-solicitation notice posting. The 18 March response date was only used to satisfy Fedbizopps posting requirements since www.FBO.gov uses this date to calculate the archive date for posted documents. Vendor action is not required in response to this pre-solicitation notice but will be required once the actual solicitation is posted (which could be before or after the stated date). Therefore vendors are responsible for monitoring the FedBizOpps website for the solicitation package and any subsequent amendments pertaining to this requirement.
