Request for Information - PA-TAC VI

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), on behalf of the Public Assistance (PA) Division under the Recovery Directorate and the Office of Response and Recovery, has developed this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit market research information from industry.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. It is not a Request for Proposal, a Request for Quotation, an Invitation for Bids, a Solicitation, or an indication the Government will contract for the items contained in the RFI. This RFI is part of a Government market research effort to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and the Government will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI. Responses to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the result of the review. If a Solicitation is issued, it will be announced on the Federal Business Opportunities, website www.fbo.gov, at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that Solicitation announcement separately from any response to this announcement. This RFI does not restrict the Government's acquisition approach on a future Solicitation.

NO PROPOSALS ARE BEING REQUESTED OR ACCEPTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYNOPSIS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED AS A RESULT OF THIS RFI.

No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this RFI or any follow up information requests.

The purpose of this RFI is to receive industry comments on the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) including (but not limited to) technical questions and comments, contract pricing considerations, contract type, business size of capable and interested companies, and most applicable NAICS Code for the competitively contracted services for the Public Assistance (PA) Technical Assistance Contracts.
