• Supply all software, upgrades, training, and maintain account ownership; respond to runaway signals within 2 hours during business hours.
• Meet insurance requirements (minimum $1M CGL, $1M Bauto, $1M Professional Liability, Workers’ Comp) and obtain Fort Meade access clearances.
• Submit a technical offer and price bid by 11:00 am EST on February 25, 2026; questions due February 18, 2026.
