Description

This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for market research purposes ONLY and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or as an obligation on the part of the requestor to acquire any products or services.

If an RFP/RFQ is issued, it will be issued by the appropriate Government Contracting office and posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE). The requestor does not intend to pay for the Information requested herein. All information provided is for Government planning use only.

The Department of Defense (DoD), WHS/AD is performing market research to determine the availability, interest, and capability of potential firms to provide services as outlined in the attached Draft PWS dated October 22, 2024.

The Government encourages responses from all interested, capable sources including small business concerns (8(a) Certified concerns, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) concerns, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs)) are encouraged to respond to this notice.

For more information, visit: https://www.sba.gov/document/support-table-size-standards, and check your size using the SBA Size Standards Tool: https://www.sba.gov/size-standards/index.html.

The Contracting Officer must determine if there is a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns that are competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery in accordance with FAR 19.502-2(b) and FAR 19.203.  When responding as a small business, please also include any capabilities that will be performed through teaming arrangements (i.e., subcontracting and/or joint ventures). 

The Contracting Officer will use the responses received from this notice to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy such as, if it is appropriate to either solicit as a small business set-aside or an unrestricted competition through SAM.gov or an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) government wide contract vehicle.  If at least two (2) qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, any competitive procurement that may result will be conducted as a small business set-aside.
