This industry input is being conducted to assist in completing a Statement of Work. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole or part any industry input as a result of this RFI. The Government recognizes that proprietary data may be a part of this effort. If so, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. This RFI is not a guarantee of a future solicitation, work, or contract. If the Government decides to award a contract for this or a related effort, a solicitation may be posted on the FedBizOps website as a competitive 8(a) set-aside due to the expected value above $4M. 3.Industry Input Sought - 100% SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant The VaCA anticipates limiting this action to 100% certified 8(a) business concerns only.

They shall be expressly prohibited from scoring, ranking, or recommending the selection of a source. b. The government is responsible for proper safeguards to ensure proposal evaluation objectivity. In this regard, the government exclusively retains all source selection decision authority and supporting decision responsibilities.

The Offeror shall notify their prospective subcontractors who are submitting proprietary information that the above government support contractors may require similar access to this information. Any such subcontractors may execute agreements directly with the above government support contractors or may authorize an Offeror to permit such access on such reasonable terms as the subcontractor may provide. For each such subcontractor agreement executed, Offerors shall provide a copy of such agreements with their proposal, and shall indicate in the proposal that the government support contractor(s) may utilize subcontractor proprietary data in evaluating the subcontractor's proposal for this acquisition.
