Any contract resulting from this solicitation will have a one-year base period and four one-year options. The lowest price technically acceptable selection process will be used with any restulting award being firm fixed price service contract. Technical and cost proposals will be required. The NAICS Code is 561110, office administrative services; size standard $6.0 million. The solicitation will be available on or about June 1, 2003, and will be available solely through the Federal Business Opportunities website at http://www.fedbizopps.gov.
