This is a Request for Information (RFI), as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e).

This is not a request for proposal, request for quotation, or an invitation for bid, nor does its issuance obligate or restrict the Government to an eventual acquisition approach. This RFI does not obligate the Government to issue a solicitation. This RFI is being conducted solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. Neither unsolicited proposal nor any other kinds of offers will be considered in response to this request or accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather market research data to 1) assist development of Acquisition Strategy, and 2) assist development of Contracting Plan, 3) assess capabilities of small businesses to develop the small business approach.
