Description

Page 1 of 3 THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. This is a Sources Sought notice issued to conduct market research. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their size classification/socioeconomic status (service-disabled veteran owned small business, veteran owned small business, women owned small business, HUB Zone, 8(a), small business or large business). Currently a total set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business firms is anticipated based on the Veterans Administration requirement with Public Law 109-461, Section 8127 Veterans Benefit Act. However, if response by Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business firms proves inadequate, an alternate set-aside or full and open competition may be determined. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes, it does not constitute a Request for Quotations (RFQ) or a promise to issue a RFQ in the future. This request does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever.
