This RFI is hereby extended to 03 June 2025. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 requires the Government to conduct market research before developing new requirements documents for an acquisition. Results of market research will be used to determine whether qualified sources exist and if alternative support strategies will meet Government requirements. One of the ways the Government conducts market research is to issue a Request for Information (RFI). A RFI provides a broad statement of need, briefly describes the Government’s intention regarding program/acquisition approach, and identifies key events in the acquisition program schedule. This is a Request for Information (RFI). This notice neither constitutes a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government from an ultimate acquisition approach. This notice should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. Requests for solicitation will not receive a response. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any input as a result of this market survey. The U.S. Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this survey. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this market survey. Description: This announcement serves to survey product availability.
