Interested parties are requested to submit a capability package that provides clear and convincing evidence of their ability to provide an HSCA system that is 100% natively compatible with and can be controlled by IndiCom software platform. In addition, interested parties must provide the following information:

1. Company Name, Address, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity ID (UEI).


2. Point of Contact (Name, Phone Number, and Email Address).


3. Company business size status under NAICS code 334515.
