The SEB would like to thank all those who provided comments to the draft RFP. The SEB is reviewing the comments to improve the final RFP. It is too early in the procurement process to provide an exact schedule, but we will keep this website updated as the schedule matures. It is our goal to move through this procurement process in a timely manner. In addition, the Presolicitation Conference Back Up Slides were mistakenly posted to this website and were not updated at the time of the Presolicitation Conference. Some of the questions we received made us realize this. The back up slides have been removed from the website. '
