Results of Sources Sought

A sources sought was used to conduct market research to determine if qualified small businesses were interested in performing this project. The sources sought notice was issued using solicitation number N4425516MKTG2, which was posted on July 20, 2015 with a due date of August 4, 2015. The sources sought requested responses from interested prime contractors and statements of capabilities. The Government received a total of six responses from small businesses.
