The U.S. Government is seeking information from small businesses capable of providing comprehensive mortuary services, including embalming, casketing, transportation, and disinterment/interment of remains, on a potential small business set-aside contract. The performance of services will be required both within the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). A budget of $12.5 million is associated with this requirement. This is a sources sought notice for planning purposes only and is not a formal solicitation; the government will only proceed with a set-aside if two or more qualified small businesses respond. Responses are due by a specified deadline to demonstrate capability and help determine if the requirement can be set aside for small business competition.
