Prospective vendors are invited to submit their responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation within the next 60 days, as vendors will be added on a rolling basis throughout the lifetime of the BPA commodities program. Once a contractor is issued a BPA there is no need to submit any response to subsequent combined synopsis/solicitation postings.
