Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract history, including awards to Countertrade Products under NNG15SC65B-FA282324F0063 ($1,433,668; 01/30/24–03/04/24) for Ciena 5171 material and equipment in accordance with the SOO and a dated quote, as well as NNG15SC65B-FA282324F0050 ($52,800; 12/30/23–12/30/24) for Ciena maintenance and support.
