The intention is to procure these services on a competitive basis.

The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. The U.S. Government is seeking vendors that may be able to provide this requirement to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses to respond to this sources sought synopsis (SSS). This notice does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future.
