Solicitation Number NNK09275664R Amendment 005, which cancels the solicitation, is attached.

A procurement strategy for future program ground operations requirements will be developed as such requirements are identified.”

“We are compelled to remind you that setting aside funds may be a direct violation of the Impoundment control Act (as well as of the appropriations language for FYlO). That act resulted from the refusal of the Nixon Administration to allot funds to activities specified by Congress. According to GAO, the Act was also used to confirm Congressional authority at least twice during the Administration of President George W. Bush.”
