The resulting cooperative contract will replace Contract 22-06PV and is intended for use by eligible public agencies nationwide, with no guaranteed sales or minimum purchasing commitment.

The solicitation requires a one-page letter of interest, detailed pricing, regional pricing, firm background and experience, key personnel information, project references, financial disclosure, approach and methodology, communication and support plans, conflict-of-interest disclosures, value-added services, cooperative-administration responses, and specified forms and certifications.
