A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government; information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in the preparation of any capabilities statements. Parties interested in this announcement shall provide detailed information of their capabilities and certifications to clearly meet the requirements stated above via email, to include the company's name, point of contact, address, phone number, UEI number, business size, and CAGE code.
