1. Attachment 1- Items List
All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capability to provide these items
to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this
notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding
contract. No solicitation (Request for Quotes) exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the
solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's
discretion.
The NAICS Code assigned to this acquisition is 541519 - Information Technology Value
Added Resellers with a size standard of 150 persons. Firms responding should indicate their
size in relation to this size standard, and indicate socio-economic status (SB, 8(a), SDVO, or
HUBZone). Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-
owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this
effort. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon
responses hereto for any subsequent action. All prospective contractors must be registered in the
System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set-aside
decision has been made. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small
Business Set Aside is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the
effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14.
Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. This
sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the
Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to
this notice. Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any Government
assessments. The Government's assessment of the capability statements received will factor into
whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a
set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business program. To ensure your
response along with any and all attachments are received, attachment(s) must be less than
10 MB [in total]. It is the responsibility of the respondent to contact the government to
confirm receipt prior to the offer due date and time.
