No contract awards will be made from this notice and no solicitation is available on www.beta.sam.gov or any other bulletin board, posting room, or clearinghouse at this time. In order to develop a sound acquisition strategy, early industry participation is highly encouraged; however, participation in this effort is strictly voluntary. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense.

1.2 The following description of the requirement is intended to be a summary of the required services and is not intended to be all-inclusive.

1.2.1 The attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the effort required to fabricate, sandblast, and paint

BAK-12 AAS and MAAS components. The Government desires a 30 day turn around from delivery or pick up of the required items to receipt of fabricated, sandblasted and or painted items.

If you are unable to perform this level of service, please provide information as to the reason.
