Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Tobyhanna Division, Tobyhanna, PA 18466 intends to award a sole source contract to Alta Enterprises Inc., 2600 E. Saucon Valley Rd., Center Valley, PA., 18034.
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) intends toaward a firm-fixed-price, brand-name-only definitive contract for a turnkey CNC equipmentsolution.
