When you go to the actual GSIN there is no description at all for this.

My bet is that they replaced a generic phrase that was used in multiple ads way back when with new COVID-19 ones or someone did a string replace in the DB for a common phrase they wanted to update not realizing they didn't date trap it.
Fucking weird. Someone should get fired for that. But they won't, because public servants can't get fired, which is why the government is so incompetent with this shit and everything else.
9 times out of 10 they paid a "consultant" to build the thing who upon completing the project dissolved the company and from that point forward they are basically at a loss to get any support at all. They decided they wanted the website and listed the requirements and then internally farmed it to a close friend who build a company to send the exact bid and requirements to the RFP. They got the job then sub contract it out and as soon as they are paid they dissolve and disappear.
Nobody fixes this shit
Why would they? They're government workers who can't get fired no matter what they do. What's the incentive for fixing problems left behind by contractors?
