The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees and is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract will support the 733d Security Forces Squadron and is being processed in compliance with FAR Part 5.203, which requires a 15-day notification period. The special notice serves as the sole solicitation, with no additional written solicitation to be issued.
