Interested parties must submit their responses by April 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time; however, this is a Sources Sought Notice and Request for Information rather than a formal solicitation, with all information preliminary and subject to change.
No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement, though the government is considering potential set-aside strategies including Small Business, SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, and 8(a) classifications. No incumbent contractor is identified in this pre-solicitation notice.
