This Sources Sought Synopsis notice is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. Because a solicitation is not being issued at this time, this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. DOE/NNSA will therefore not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this Sources Sought Synopsis is strictly voluntary and the information obtained from industries responses to this notice may be used in the development of an acquisition strategy and future request for proposal. Please be advised that all information submitted will be considered procurement sensitive and will not be returned. Information which the vendor considers "Proprietary Information" pursuant to existing laws and regulations must be marked accordingly [see FAR 3.104-1 (3) & (4)].
