Solicitation and Contracts FOIA and Posting Notice

Any award(s) resulting from issuance of this solicitation or quote may be posted in the DeCA Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) electronic reading room at www.commissaries.com.

In compliance with the provisions of Executive Order 12600, the contract holder may identify to the agency FOIA Officer (foia@deca.mil), within 21 calendar days of the contract award date, any information contained in the contract that it deems to be confidential commercial information.

Unexercised option prices will not be published.
