Description

This is a modification to Submission No. 5084Z7 dated December 8, 2000, and No. 5082A6 dated December 6, 2000. This notice amends the previous by removing Note 1 which set aside this procurement for 100 percent small business. The resultant solicitation will be full and open competition.

Contractor personnel will be required to possess a Department of Defense access to Automatic Data Processing (ADP) at the Level 2 category. The storage site must be located at least 19 miles away but less than 100 miles from the DECC which is located at 3990 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43216.
