The primary objective of this notice is to obtain information that will help the Government finalize its procurement strategy. This NOTICE is published to determine the interest and capabilities of potential offerors and to solicit comments and/or suggestions for improving the attached PWS. Please note that the PWS is in draft form and the Government anticipates revisions to this document prior to its release as a request for quote (RFQ). Additionally, the government is inviting interested offerors to participate in one-on-one meetings with government representatives to provide suggestions and comments and/or ask questions about this requirement. It is the Government's intention to award multiple Basic Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for these services. The Government contemplates the task order having a period of performance of a twelve month base period and four twelve month option periods. Release of a solicitation is tentatively planned in the first quarter of calendar 2024. The tentative Small Business strategy is to solicit this requirement as a 25% partial small business set-aside.

Offerors who do not clearly demonstrate, in their quote, that at least 20% of the labor dollars of the project will be paid to one or more small businesses will be excluded from the competition and will be ineligible for task order award. The intention is to solicit this requirement under SIN 518210C Cloud Computing and Cloud Related IT Professional Services. Vendors must have this SIN in order to be eligible for award.
