What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense plans to sole source a contract for educational support services, classified under NAICS code 611519. This procurement does not use a set-aside for small businesses, and is therefore open to all eligible contractors. As a Special Notice, this is not a competitive solicitation, and interested parties should track the procurement for updates rather than preparing a bid. The work will be performed in Florida.
Analysis by Mindy, grounded in the SAM.gov notice.
