I. Overview

This is a Sources Sought Notice only. This Sources Sought Notice does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is it a guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation or contract. This notice is for market research purposes only and respondents will not be notified of the results.

II. Requirement:

The Government is conducting market research regarding options for vehicle lease/purchase to support the NBIB facility located in Boyers, PA. NBIB is located in a large/sprawling underground facility in Boyers, PA. Due to the size of the facility electric motorized transportation is required between offices and out of the facility entirely. Exiting the facility requires travelling up a slight incline for several hundred linear feet. These transportation needs have historically been met through the use of 4 and 6 passenger golf carts.

NBIB is seeking information on the cost to purchase or lease vehicles which will meet the stated basic requirement. Interested vendors are asked to send vehicle specifications (make, model, and passenger capacity) and pricing information. Specifically NBIB would like information on vendor capability to provide the following passenger capacity:

8 each x 4 passenger with roof and windshield

10 each x 6 passenger with roof and windshield

III. Purpose:

The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to locate potential sources and to gain knowledge of the interest, capabilities, and qualifications related to this effort of various members of industry, to include the Small Business Community. The Government is specifically interested in determining the interest and capabilities of Small Businesses, including those in the following categories: Small Business, Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones

(HUBZone), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small

Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Economically-

Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). The information gleaned in response to this Sources Sought Notice will inform the Government’s decision on business size requirements for this procurement and ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors.
