1. This is a draft solicitation ONLY to notify industry of a potential forthcoming requirement. This is NOT an obligation on the part of the USG. This notice does not obligate the USG to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in the response. This is not to be construed as a commitment by the USG to form a binding contract or agreement. The USG will not be liable for payment of any response preparation expenses. The USG will not reimburse or pay for information submitted in response to this Draft RFP. This Draft RFP is open to all business types.

The USG is not requesting proposal submissions at this time. Responses to this Draft RFP are voluntary and will not affect any contractor's ability to submit a proposal if, or when, a solicitation is released. This is not the formal solicitation and one is not guaranteed to be issued by the USG. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary with no cost obligation to be incurred by the USG. Proprietary information shall NOT be submitted in response to this Draft RFP, nor will the USG be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information. Any information received as a result of this draft solicitation will become the property of the USG and will not be returned to the respondents.

Again, at this time, the USG requests interested parties DO NOT submit any proposals. This is INFORMATIONAL ONLY.

Questions will be allowed, but it is the USG's discretion on which questions it will answer. Responses to any questions will be posted to SAM.gov. The USG is not required to provide responses to all questions.
