- � � � � � NOTE:�Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice. Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any Government assessments. The Government's assessment of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business program.�If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the sam.gov website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. � � � � � The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/WFK Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation�(AFSAC) Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio is seeking capabilities packages of potential sources including Small Business (SB), 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only, to identify potential sources capable of providing medical equipment in accordance with (IAW) Attachment 1 - Equipment List. REQUIREMENTS: � � � � ��The contractor shall acquire medical training support equipment for Department of Defense (DoD) delivery to the country of Zambia. The medical equipment list is comprised of several Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) parts to fit the end user�s needs and requirements. � � � � ��The contractor shall acquire equipment in accordance with Attachment 1 � Equipment List.

All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set-aside decision has been made. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14. � � � � ��The Air Force anticipates that this prospective acquisition will be a Firm Fixed Price Contract.
