Description
This is a request for information (RFI) only. This RFI is issued solely for information and market research planning purposes. This RFI shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government.
This is NOT a Request for Quotations or Proposals. No solicitation document exists, and the Government may or may not issue a formal solicitation as a result of the responses received to this RFI. The Government will not pay for any response or demonstration expenses.
All costs incurred responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Failure to respond to this RFI will not preclude participation in any future solicitation. Any information received will become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the submitter.
Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or sensitive information. The Government’s explicit intent, in this RFI , is to not receive from respondents any proprietary data, trade secrets, business sensitive information, or information considered CONFIDENTIAL under 18 U.S.C. §1905. The Government’s constraint does not in any way relieve interested parties from their responsibility to properly mark proprietary data when it is provided, nor does it alleviate any requirement for the Government to protect marked data.
The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. All submissions become the property of the Federal Government and will not be returned.
Important Notice: Please read attached document for complete instructions on how to respond to this RFI. Interested parties can request a copy of the DRAFT Statement of Work for this requirement by emailing the point of contacts listed below.
