The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ�s, IFB�s, or RFP�s, if any are issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry, SAM.gov.
