Travel Accommodations for Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry

This request will be prefaced by saying this Sources Sought is strictly for Market Research purposes, and the U.S. Government does not intend on issuing a solicitation at this time for the requirement.

Using the data collected from this Sources Sought, the U.S. Government hopes to obtain a better understanding of the market surround RAAF Darwin and RAAF Tindal within the country of Australia. Therefore, we are primarily focusing on vendors within the local area that can support our needs. However, we will accept capabilities statements from vendors outside the local area as well to gauge how much support is available locally, and how much would not be available locally.
