To broaden the Agency�s market research effort EPA will also utilize GSA�s Market Research as a Service (MRAS) entities may respond to either, as the information collected from both outreach notices will be used to help determine if this potential requirement may be set-aside for small business concerns, under the range of potential acquisition approaches the government may pursue.
