However, should such a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against NHLBI shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought notice or the NHLBI's use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. The NHLBI is seeking capability statements from all eligible small business concerns, particularly Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), Woman-owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 238210 with a size standard of $14.0M.

Background Information Emerson Network Power, Liebert Services Inc. is the manufacturer of the heating/cooling and emergency power back-up systems in the Laboratory of Computational Biology, NHLBI.
