Participants are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs that result from responding to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Pursuant to Executive Order (EO) 14271, Ensuring Commercial Cost-Effective Solutions in Federal Contracts, the Chief Procurement Officer is committed to purchasing commercial items and performing robust market research to identify commercial products and services that meet the Government’s needs. To satisfy the requirements of EO 14271, this RFI seeks to determine whether a commercial solution is available as part of this requirement, or whether the required services must be provided non-commercially.
