It is not a request for proposal, a request for quotation, an invitation for bid, a solicitation, or an indication that SRCO will contract for the items contained in the RFI. This RFI is part of a government market research effort to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract.

This RFI does not restrict the government's acquisition approach on a future solicitation.
