Any other interested organizations must submit a written statement of their capabilities and qualifications to fulfill this requirement to the identified point of contact as soon as possible, but not later than 4:00 p.m. local time on 07/12/2004. Faxed and emailed statements are acceptable, but the senders bear full responsibility to ensure complete transmission and timely receipt. All inquires and concerns must be addressed in writing to this facsimile number (404)679-4057, Attn: Frances Brown, or email address [email protected]. Any such statement of capabilities and qualifications received by the deadline will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
