The Government will utilize responses to this sources sought notice to determine the availability of qualified U.S. small business firms, within the above identified categories, capable of meeting the Department of State's requirements and to determine the appropriateness of setting aside an anticipated acquisition under one of the above small business categories. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this requirement is 236220. The corresponding small business size standard is $36.5 million.

Defense systems are to be fabricated utilizing a minimum 20 gauge galvanized steel which can be easily installed in an austere location.

The modular wall system will be installed on a solid and stable base that prevents erosion; this base should be made of concrete. Once installed, the system shall offer immediate stability meeting all appropriate Colombian building and structural codes.
