While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in reverse ATM technology and services. The contract will be issued as an Agency Contract within Clarke County, Georgia, suggesting potential local vendor preferences might be considered during evaluation.
