Sources Sought: IT, Lab, and Furniture Equipment This Sources Sought is part of the U.S. Government's market research efforts to identify capable vendors to provide: IT Equipment, Lab Equipment, and Furniture. The information gathered will help inform future procurement strategies and requirements, including whether to structure future solicitation(s) as a single combined RFQ or as separate group-specific awards. This Sources Sought is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or Request for Proposal (RFP), nor a promise to issue one in the future. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. The U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids, or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ, IFB, or RFP, if any is issued. The requirement is organized into three groups, each governed by its own draft Statement of Work (SOW): Group 1 — IT Equipment: Digital exploitation hardware and software, including forensic workstations, servers, network equipment, cameras, and forensic software licenses for CBP-CAMDEX, FBI-TEDAC1 and FBI-TEDAC2 (see draft SOW – IT Equipment). Note: The Government is concurrently evaluating this requirement against the NASA SEWP contract vehicle. This RFI serves as a contingency market research effort should procurement through NASA SEWP not be feasible. Group 1 will not be combined with Group 2 or Group 3 in any future solicitation. Group 2 — Lab Equipment: Specialized digital exploitation lab equipment, including soldering/rework stations, microscopes, ESD-safe tools and supplies, and related consumables for CBP-CAMDEX, FBI-TEDAC1 and FBI-TEDAC2 (see draft SOW – Lab Equipment). Group 3 — Furniture: Specialized lab furniture, including ESD-safe workbenches, chairs, drawers, and workstation components for CBP-CAMDEX and FBI-TEDAC1 (see draft SOW – Furniture). The Government contemplates issuance of separate RFQ(s) as follows: (a) a standalone RFQ for Group 1 (IT Equipment), issued only if required as a contingency to the NASA SEWP procurement path; and (b) an RFQ permitting firms to quote on Group 2, Group 3, or both, with firms quoting on a given group required to provide all equipment types within that group. Group 1 will not be combined with Group 2 or Group 3 under any circumstances. Responding to this Sources Sought Responses are limited to no more than 20 pages in length, using 14-point font.
