Scam Notice
The Durnstein Institute of Technology is another scam company.
The group's website links to news articles about how they've been awarded various contracts. One DoD agency mentioned in an article had no information to share and could not verify the group had the contract. There's also no record of "Durnstein" in SAM.gov (active or inactive), nor is there any award activity for them in FPDS-NG.
In their website's "Contact Us" section, they list an address in Pennsylvania, but no phone number. There is no actual Durnstein Institute of Technology at the particular location in PA.
Unsure if you get an email that's legit? Contact your Procurement Specialist for advice.
