Additionally, in accordance with FAR Part 10 Market Research the FDA will use the results of the market research to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency's requirements exist based on its response to the questions contained in this notice. FDA welcomes responses from all interested parties. FDA does not intend to make a selection decision or award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted or FDA's use of such information. Acknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made, nor will respondents be notified of the outcome of the FDA's review of the information received. Additionally, the FDA does not intend to hold discussions concerning this RFI with any interested parties. However, FDA reserves the right to contact vendors if additional information is required. General Instructions For purposes of the RFI, the capabilities statement shall not exceed 15 pages of text; graphics, tables and diagrams do not count toward the page limit. The document(s) shall be prepared using Times New Roman 12-point font style for printing on 8.5 X 11 inch paper. Each page shall identify the submitting respondent and page number. Page Margins shall be no less than 0.5" on all sides. A complete response to the RFI should include answers to all of the questions below. Please note that a respondent's failure to provide a complete response to a question will be interpreted to mean that it does not understand the question and does not demonstrate the capability to provide services required. Responses should demonstrate capability, not merely affirm the respondent's capability (i.e. the response must go beyond the statement that, "XYZ company can provide O&M support"). All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the United States Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the United States Government.
