Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), SDB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.). All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities-indicating examples of commercial sales-and product specifications related to this effort. Also indicate if you are the manufacturer, or provide the name and size of the manufacturer of the product(s) you will be supplying. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated us of foreign national employees on this effort. Include in your capabilities package your DUNS, Cage Code, and System for Award Management expiration date. Responses may be submitted electronically to the following e-mail address: 45cons.lgcb.e-bids@us.af.mil; by mail to 45 CONS/LGCB, Attn: FA2521-13-Q-B108,1201 Edward H. White II Street, Bldg. 423, Room N206, Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3238; or by Fax to 321-494-1843. RESPONSES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 7 May 2015.
