This is not a solicitation, request for proposal (RFP), or request for quotation (RFQ). Responses will be used to assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy and developing a future solicitation, if any. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in responding to this RFI.

The attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the anticipated requirement for recurring snow and ice removal services at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Washington, DC Facility. The services include snow removal, ice treatment, snow hauling when required, and response to snow and ice events at approximately 102,700 square feet of sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, entrances, emergency exits, and other designated areas.
