A detailed description of a potential requirement is attached to this RFI and identified as a DRAFT Statement of Work. The USDA seeks feedback from industry to aid in determining if a requirement developed from this RFI would be viable.

The USDA is request that responses to the RFI address the following: 1. Please express your company's interest in offering any or potentially offering a response to a request for proposal generated from this RFI. 2.
