ANNOUNCEMENT: NETCENTS-2 PMO Control Number Applications Services IDIQ Contracts
The Air Force continues to exercise its right to restrict use of the NETCENTS-2 Application Full & Open IDIQ contract due to the limited value of the current contract ceiling. NO decentralized orders may be placed by DoD (including Air Force) and other Federal Agencies without first obtaining pre-approval and receiving an assigned NETCENTS-2 PMO control number. Previous guidance pertaining to the AS Small Business Contract remains in effect.
