We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price. Responses to this Sources Sought from Large Businesses are not required at this time.

This Sources Sought Notice is for informational and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Fort Bragg (MICC-FB).

The size standard for this NAICS code is $22M.

Responses to this Sources Sought are not Offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Offerors are reminded that only Contracting Officers are authorized to commit the Government to the obligation of funds. A formal Solicitation does not exist at this time; not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ or IFB or RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the Governmentwide Point of Entry for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
