The draft solicitation contains information on the service areas and the anticipated labor categories and will be available at www.gsa.gov/alliant. No parts of this Request for Comment or the sections herein are binding on the Government. This RFC is for planning purposes only, and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or solicitation of an offer. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFC or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Responders are not required to participate in the RFC process as a condition or pre-qualification relative to any future response to an RFP.
