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

4 days left: responses are due , 10:00 AM (UTC-05:00) (as of ). Late responses are usually rejected; check the notice for time zone and submission method.

Next steps

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration — it is free, and you should register yourself on SAM.gov. Never pay anyone for "registration".
  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 (518210) and any set-aside requirements.
  4. Send questions before the question deadline (if any), then submit your response exactly as instructed.
