Interested parties capable of providing a directly compatible equivalent product must submit written responses by February 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern, including firm name, UEI or CAGE code, point of contact information, and supporting documentation demonstrating direct product compatibility.

The notice does not disclose an estimated award value or budget range for this portion of the construction contract.
