Quick Summary

Interested parties must respond within 2 days of publication to identify their interest and capability.
Scope of Work
This opportunity covers the provision of essential Privacy and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) support services for the U.S. Coast Guard. The services are critical to maintaining operations without interruption during a transition period.
Contract & Timeline

As the incumbent contractor, TechOp Solutions is deemed the only source capable of maintaining the required service level without a transition period.
