The Government will use the Responses from this RFI to determine appropriate set-aside, such as total small business set-aside or a further socioeconomic set-aside, for this BPA. However, all interested firms are invited to submit a response.

Contractor Teaming Arrangements (CTA) are permitted. Orders will be requisitioned by customer agencies, and GSA will issue purchase orders for the requested items to the awardee for direct delivery to the ordering agency.
