Question and Answer

Q1: As a small business we can support several areas but not all. In such cases will my response be considered?

A1: We are currently in the Request for Information phase. We are looking for you to answer the questions in the Sources Sought Notice attachment on SAM.gov; nothing more at this time.

Generally speaking, in a formal solicitation, if a contractor cannot meet all the requirements outlined in a PWS they will work with subcontractors as responses to solicitations are on an all or nothing basis.

Q4: What will be the contract value for this opportunity?

A4: We are in the Request for Information phase only; the contract value is not confirmed nor will it be accessible for release.

Q5: Would you please provide the set aside for this opportunity?
