The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 541519 with a size standard of $34M and involves purchasing two licenses for CST Studio Suite.

Potential participants must explicitly address how their product meets the specified product characteristics. While the government is not requesting competitive quotations, all submissions will be considered, with the ultimate decision of procurement method remaining solely at the government's discretion. Interested parties should email their responses directly to Ja'Quan Dangerfield at the provided email address.
