The small business size standard is $11M. Your response to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy, including whether a small business set-aside is a possibility. This Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and does not constitute a commitment by the United States Government (USG). The USG is currently conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 10, to identify potential small business sources to fulfill the requirement and gather information on current capabilities within the market. All information submitted in response to this sources sought notice is voluntary and the USG will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the USG. Proprietary information submitted should be marked appropriately. All submitted information shall remain with the USG and will not be returned. The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has a potential future requirement to enter into a partnership that will support the development of an advanced Training, Simulation and Quarantine Center (TSQC). The USG will support the completion of the TSQC with the equipment needed to help prepare the Nation for an outbreak of Ebola or other highly infectious disease. Completion of the TSQC will provide the US Government (USG) with three critical capabilities.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have safely and successfully evaluated and provided definitive treatment to patients with Ebola in the U.S. 2. Be able to demonstrate that you currently possesses or are able to acquire and construct the space needed for the TSQC facility, using your own funding. 3.
