The U.S. AbilityOne Commission has issued an RFI for market research and acquisition planning only; it is not a solicitation, offer, or commitment to award. The Commission seeks market information on established services that can provide independent product-origin and supply-chain intelligence. The core need is to augment existing Program data by identifying external manufacturer, supplier, foreign-sourcing, and import information and credibly correlating that evidence to specific AbilityOne products. The contemplated pilot is a bounded external-intelligence and risk-identification exercise intended to produce incremental, decision-relevant information without recreating routine Commission, CNA, or NPA processes or substituting for final Government legal or compliance determinations. Respondents are not reimbursed for response costs.
