Los Alamos National Laboratory is making moves towards awarding Master Task Order Agreement 4 covering technical support services, notifying several bidders last week that they were unsuccessful. It appears that no awards have been made yet, and a large number of teams are believed to have bid on the contract. Notifications of award are expected to come soon, and must be made by mid-May. Teams also bidding for MTOA 3 at LANL were notified that a potential conflict of interest could appear with some tasks under both MTOAs.
