This is a Sources Sought Notice (W911RX26Q1CFX) for market research only and does not constitute a formal solicitation.

All items must be medical-grade, non-porous, latex-free, non-toxic, and engineered to withstand repeated chemical sanitization without peeling, fading, or degradation. Printed materials must use 50-pound offset paper stock with cardboard backings in standard 8.5" x 11" layouts. Performance is at Fort Riley, Kansas 66442.
The Total Small Business set-aside is contingent upon receiving responses from at least two qualified small businesses. Interested vendors must submit five-page responses by email to Joni N.
