The procurement is open to all qualified bidders, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contractor is unknown, and the project does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The budget range for the project is not specified, but the advertisement notes that the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
