Prior Prequalification Firms that submitted a prequalification package for projects of similar scope and dollar value during FY 2004 and/or 2005 and/or 2006 and were successfully pre-qualified by the OBO technical panel need not resubmit a complete pre-qualification package under this announcement. If interested, the previously pre-qualified offerors must send the POC a letter of interest as described below prior to the closure date of this solicitation.
