This is not a request for quotes, but instead a market research effort to determine interested small business concerns prior to issuing a RFQ. A determination by the Government on the method to compete this requirement has not been established. The Government will not award a contract based on this Sources Sought Notice or the information received, nor will it reimburse participants for the information they provide.
