If no affirmative written responses are received within this timeframe, the contract will be awarded to Sierra7 Inc. without further notice. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and PSC code J065 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical Equipment), indicating the technical nature of the telesitter support and maintenance services required.
