RECOVERY - THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (SSA) FUNDED THIS PROPOSED ACTION BY THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (PUB. L. 111-5) (RECOVERY ACT). THE AGENCY PROVIDES THIS NOTICE "FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY."

This opportunity is only available to SSA's existing Systems Operational Support Services (SOSS) contractor, Koniag Services, Inc., of Chantilly VA, under Contract Number SS00-09-60009.
