The contract period runs from January 8, 2026 through January 7, 2027, with four optional renewal periods available. Interested parties must submit pricing and sufficient technical documentation by the December 18, 2025 deadline to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement; however, this notice is not a competitive solicitation and no formal solicitation document will be issued. The OCC retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
