Based on capability statements submitted in response to this notice, the Government will invite the only the 'most highly qualified' companies to participate in the competition. GSA schedule holders judged best qualified to compete for the work will be sent a draft Request for Quotations package within two (2) weeks of the deadline for submission of capability statements and invited to schedule '1-on-1' meetings with Government representatives to address any questions.
