The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ or IFB or RFP, if any is issued.

It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the GPE for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

The size limit of each email, with all attachments, cannot exceed 9 megabytes (MB) due to the Government's email system restrictions. DO NOT SEND ZIPPED files as the Government's information network will remove all zipped files. In response to this sources sought, please provide: 1. A company profile to include name of your firm, point of contact, phone number, email address, number of employees, annual revenue history, CAGE code, and DUNs number. Respondents must also indicate whether they qualify as a Small Business, SDB, 8(a), EDWOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, or SDVOSB. 2. Identify whether your firm is interested in competing for this requirement as a prime contractor. If you are subcontracting any of the services out, contemplating a Joint Venture, and/or creating a teaming arrangement then please provide the name of these companies and what work they will be performing, if available. Please provide your company's specific experience in performing medical air evacuation services and providing comparable services. Ensure the information is in sufficient detail regarding previous experience in performing medical air evacuation services (indicate whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor) on similar requirements include the services provided. If applicable, please provide the same experience information from any Subcontracts, Joint Venture, and/or teaming partners you may propose with. 3.

Note: In accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (CLASS DEVIATION 2019-O0003): "Similarly situated entity" means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award and that is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone set-aside. In addition, the Contractor agrees in performance of a contract for services, it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. 4. Identify type(s)/certifications(s) of proposed subcontractors (such as SDB, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB). 5. Information on the financial capacity of your business to meet financial obligations (i.e. payroll, payment of subcontractors, etc.). 6. Identify how the Army can best structure these contract requirements to facilitate competition by and among small business concerns. 7.
