Results of Sources Sought
A market survey was completed by posting a Sources Sought under solicitation N4425517MKTG3 on FBO and NECO on November 23, 2016 with a due date of December 7, 2016. The sources sought requested responses from interested prime contractors and statements of capabilities. The Government received a total of one response from a small business. An analysis was made of the response, and the single respondent could not be considered qualified based on the submission. The sources sought analysis was provided to the SBA with the DD 2579 documentation. Additionally the Government performed various searches on the dynamic small business search website to identify potential capable small business.
As a result of the market research, the contracting officer has determined there is not a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns in accordance with FAR 19.502-2. The Activity Small Business Office concurs with this decision.
