This ITQ is neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor a solicitation of bids or tenders and is intended only to pre-qualify suppliers for participation in a Review and Refine Requirements (RRR) phase and an RFP phase. No Contract will result from this ITQ. Together, this ITQ, the planned RRR phase, and the bid solicitation (RFP) form the MPMCT SI procurement process.
