National Museum of the Unites States Army- Sources Sought

1. Market Survey Request. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is releasing this Market Survey to identify prospective sources capable of design, fabrication, and installation of a major blockbuster exhibit commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the Revolutionary War in accordance with Smithsonian Institute Fabrication Specifications.

2. Clarification of this action. This request is for a market survey. It is an inquiry intended to measure the level of industry interest and capabilities for competing potential Government contracts. Responses to this survey may affirm the Government’s decision to issue the subject contracts for full and open competition. This is not a pre-solicitation notice or Request for Proposals (RFP), nor will any contracts be awarded from this announcement. Information regarding the potential solicitation, as presented in this market survey, is subject to change. Participation in this survey from a potential offeror is solely voluntary; no reimbursements will be made for costs associated with participation in this survey. Data submitted to the government will not be returned but will remain archived as part of historical records. Lastly, participation in this market survey, while important to Army acquisition planners, is neither mandatory nor is it requisite for future participation by the potential offeror in forthcoming Government solicitations.
