DHS has issued an RFI for informational and planning purposes to identify small business manufacturers of TC1 equipment under NAICS 334220, focused strictly on equipment rather than services. The market research will support acquisition planning for the TC1 Equipment track and assess whether small business manufacturers can produce specific classes of supply. Results may inform DHS consideration of requesting SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule waivers before a final solicitation, but not a blanket waiver across all TC1 equipment. DHS intends to assess manufacturer availability at the individual product-line or class-of-supply level, seeking waivers only where qualified small business manufacturers are unavailable, and may use the information to formulate acquisition strategies for competitive solicitations.
