This was a sole-source competition with one solicitation and one response.

The contract will be performed in Anchorage, AK and Orocovis, Puerto Rico. This is a total set aside base year contract with two term options for 2 years. Performance completion date is Dec. 14, 2006. The Defense Supply Center in Philadelphia, PA issued the contract (SP0100-05-D-6042).
