Description
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contemplates awarding approximately seventeen (17) firm-fixed price contracts of $100,000.00 each under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I, during Fiscal Year 2019. The previous pre-solicitation notice stated that the awards would be made during Fiscal Year 2018 rather than 2019. This amendment corrects that error.
