SASPO RFI - Tinker Industry Day (12 August 2021)

This is a Request for information (RFI) announcement. This is not a solicitation for proposal; therefore, a solicitation number has not been assigned. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this RFI or any follow-up information requests.

This RFI is issued for the purpose of collecting market research, solely for informational, planning, identification of capable sources/recommended strategy and if this effort can be competitive or Small Business Set-Aside. The information provided in response to this RFI is for discussion purposes and any potential strategy that may be developed from these discussions would be the subject of a separate, future announcement.

The information received in response to this RFI will not be shared with competitors, but may be utilized by the Government in developing an acquisition strategy, and requirement documents (i.e.; Statement of Objectives, Performance Work Statement (PWS), or Purchase Description).

The Air Force requires that only non-proprietary information be submitted in response to this RFI. The Air Force shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for the use of any proprietary information submitted.

A determination by the Government not to compete this potential acquisition, based upon responses received to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of on-going market research. Respondents should not submit proprietary data.

The Government will not pay for any information submitted as a result of this RFI. A response to this RFI is NOT a request to be added to a prospective bidders list or to receive a copy of the solicitation.

If a solicitation is issued, it will be posted later at https://www.beta.SAM.gov and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement. Projects identified as OTA candidates on the quad charts will not show on beta.SAM.gov but will be advertised through the SOSSEC consortium (See SASPO website to join). This RFI shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services.
