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

No small-business set-aside is listed (full and open competition), so any responsible business that meets the notice's requirements can usually respond. Small businesses can still compete.

Deadline

13 days left: responses are due , 4:00 PM (UTC-05:00) (as of ). Late responses are usually rejected; check the notice for time zone and submission method.

Next steps

  2. Open the official notice, download the attachments and read the statement of work and instructions.
  3. Check that your business fits the NAICS code (334516) and any set-aside requirements.
