• The Government will not award a contract on the basis of this RFI. A determination not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the Government’s discretion.

• The acquisition strategy is still being determined. Market research results will assist the Air Force in determining whether this requirement will be a full and open competition, a small business set aside, a sole source acquisition, or utilization of DLA contract.

• Not responding to this SSS does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.

• The Government may contact respondents to obtain additional information or clarification in order to fully understand a response. This may include discussions, site visits, demonstrations, etc. to further the Government’s understanding of a proposed effort, as well as the respondent’s understanding of the Government’s requirements.

Any proprietary data submitted may be handled by contract support services personnel who have signed an NDA. Any proprietary information received in response to this request will be properly protected from any unauthorized disclosure. The Government will not use proprietary information submitted from any one firm to establish the capability and requirements for any future systems acquisitions, so as to not inadvertently restrict competition. Any material that is not marked proprietary will be considered publicly releasable

• Small Businesses are encouraged to provide responses to this SSS in order to assist the Program Office in determining potential levels of competition available in the industry, as well as helping to establish a basis for developing any subsequent subcontracting goals.
