Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this source sought is voluntary. Responses will not be returned. No entitlements to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges to the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses or Government use of such information.

However the Government will retain minutes of all conversations to include pertinent recommendations and comments for incorporation into any future Government Market Research report, Government acquisition strategy and draft Request for Proposal (RFP) as deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer.
