Services will commence on/around 31 March 2024 and continue through 30 March 2029 for the five-year basic ordering period. The contract will contain the option to extend services in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8 to allow for performance through 29 September 2029 if exercised. This requirement will be solicited competitively as a total small business set-aside. The activity’s small business office concurs with this determination. The NAICS code applicable to this procurement is 541199. The size standard is $20.5 million. The Product Service Code is R418. The anticipated award date is no later than 30 March 2024.
