What this is

A sources sought notice is market research: the agency wants to know which businesses can do the work. Responding (often with a capability statement) can influence whether the contract is set aside for small businesses.

Who can bid

Small Business Set-Aside. Only small businesses can compete. "Small" is defined by the SBA size standard for the NAICS code on the notice (a revenue or employee limit). A partial set-aside reserves only part of the work for small businesses.

Deadline

8 days left: responses are due , 5:00 PM (UTC-04:00) (as of ). Late responses are usually rejected; check the notice for time zone and submission method.
