This Request for Information and Sources Sought is published for market research purposes. The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) Southern Tier in North Chicago, IL is conducting market research, and the purpose of this RFI is three-fold.

Secondly, we are seeking to identify whether there are sufficient small businesses capable of performing these services to determine if a set-aside for any small business program is appropriate or feasible. Lastly, we are seeking market feedback on our Sample Performance Based Work Statement. If interested in fulfilling this requirement, please also indicate willingness to enter into a firm fixed-price contract with set monthly rates for all transportation requirements during the month, or indicate what the standard commercial billing practice would be for contracts providing this type of service.
