The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to conduct market research and gauge potential interest in this anticipated support program. The Government seeks information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement and to analyze if responsible sources exist to designate this effort as a competitive acquisition. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 336413, which has a corresponding size standard of 1,000 employees.

Interested parties are requested to respond to this notice, if applicable, and identify their small business status relative to the identified NAICS code.
