The Air Force will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this request for information. This FedBizOpps announcement is seeking market information on businesses capable of providing the services as described herein. AMC is currently conducting market research to determine qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources. The information requested by this RFI will be used within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency.
