GENERAL INFORMATION: There is no risk to you for participating in this survey. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary with no cost or obligation to be incurred by the U.S. Government. This notice does not constitute an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposal. This request for information does not commit the Government to pay any cost incurred in preparation of any submission to this questionnaire. The Government will in no way be bound to this information if any solicitation is issued. The Government will not release any information marked with proprietary legend received in response to this questionnaire to any firms, agencies, or individuals outside the Government without written permission in accordance with the legend.

DISCLAIMER: The United States Government (USG) is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Nor is the Government obligated for like data in possession of third parties or for data which is afterwards placed in the public domain by the contractor or by third parties through no fault of the USG. Should the USG need to reproduce the protected data for distribution purposes between Government offices, all such data will be reproduced with restrictive legends in place.

Reference herein to any specific commercial company, product, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the United States Government or the Department of the Army (DA).

Support Contractors: The Government sometimes uses support contractors in evaluating responses.
