The IBS SPO intends to use responses to this RFI to determine whether sources exist, and whether a potential acquisition can be competitively awarded and/or a Small Business Set-Aside. The Government respectfully requests that interested parties respond to this RFI. However, this RFI does not commit the Government to issue a contract for any material, supply, or service. The Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals.

Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred as a result of responding to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the expense of the interested party.
