Responses must reference solicitation number N6893626Q5068 and clearly demonstrate the firm's experience, assets, background, and technical ability to perform the required work while maintaining quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule compliance.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and Inyo Networks dba Onward, located at 10621 Church Street, Suite 100, Vallejo, California, is the current incumbent contractor providing the services being renewed. No specific contract award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
