Total estimated procurement value is $60,845.00. The NAICS code is 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing); PSC is 5445 (Prefabricated Tower Structures).
This is not a solicitation; no solicitation package will be issued. Written responses demonstrating capability to provide the services are requested by email, received at no cost to the Government. Funds are not presently available; no award will be made until funding is secured.
