The contractor must interface with the ELSA array, coordinate with government technical points of contact, and facilitate testing across three consecutive work days involving government witnesses. The solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under FAR Part 12 for commercial items and services, with quotations due by March 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM, making this a seven-day solicitation period.
