Vendors must also provide proof of capabilities, pricing for market research, and information on company size and certifications (e.g., SDVOSB/VOSB/HUBZone/WOSB), as well as whether they hold or can access federal contracts or schedules and if the required items are available on those schedules. Responses must be sent by email, with a capability statement and general pricing; the government stresses that this is for market research and does not guarantee a solicitation or contract, while noting no anticipated subcontracting and the need for SAM and VetBiz registration for eligible bidders.
Two identical sources-sought notices were issued for market research, with the second notice extending the deadline for responses and reaffirming the same scope, terms, and eligibility requirements. After reviewing responses, a formal solicitation may be published on FedBizOpps or GSA eBuy; responses to the sources-sought notices are not interchangeable with responses to the eventual solicitation. The notices indicate a possible SDVOSB set-aside, but if responses are insufficient, additional competition options may be used, and no subcontracting opportunity is anticipated. Current award data shows no funded awards yet.
