This is not a solicitation but rather a Request for Information (RFI) to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only.

 This request does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government's acquisition approach. There is no solicitation available at this time.  Contractor proposals will receive no response. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this synopsis nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned.

 The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist and to assist the United States Air Force (USAF) in determining if a future contract effort can be competitively awarded and/or awarded on a total or partial Small Business Set-Aside basis.  If the Government decides to award a contract for this or related effort, a solicitation will be published and posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website.  The Government will use this information solely to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small business concerns.
