This request for information (RFI) is issued solely for information purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to a contract. Further, the Department of Commerce is not seeking proposals, and will not accept unsolicited proposals or any cost or pricing data. Industry organizations are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be the sole responsibility of the industry organization. All submissions will be treated as business confidential materials, become Government property, and will not be returned. Responses are requested by December 28, 2004. Response should be 2-3 pages, 10 or 12 font. Please email responses to Lottie Plater at lplater@doc.gov. Telephone number 202.482.3552.
