2. Sources Sought Request.  PM LAV seeks to determine industry capability to provide the requisite service as detailed in paragraph 1.  Please provide any information (and/) or commercial literature describing your company’s capabilities, safety, supportability, quality, cost, availability (and/) or other information not specifically requested that you feel would be informative, how the requirements of a contract might be fulfilled without access to the system’s technical data.   This market research process is intended to obtain only non-proprietary information about your company’s capabilities.  The United States Government (USG) does NOT want to obtain any proprietary or otherwise protected documents because of this Sources Sought.  The USG may return data (and/) or documents that have proprietary or protected markings.

3. Market Research Information. Respondents are requested to include with their responses, their feedback relating to a ten-year period of performance. The Government seeks  input on whether the respondent considers such a period of performance as posing any significant risks or challenges and if requiring a proposal for such a term might deter willingness to submit a proposal.

4. This is Market Research for LAV Systems Technical Support (STS). The previous contract was awarded to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The USG intends to award another STS contract which will go to the OEM, unless market research indicates that other firms can meet the requirements. The US Government does not own the TDP or other technical data for either the ITSS or ATWS and would be unable to secure any such data for performance under this contract.
