DVS War Home RFI

This Request for Information (RFI or Sourcing Event) is being issued to solicit information from interested suppliers. The State Entity will use the information generated by this RFI in conjunction with other information available to determine the solution that is in the best interests of the State Entity to fulfill this need. The RFI method is not a competitive solicitation method and, as a result, does not satisfy the requirement for competitive bidding. The RFI method is no more than an information gathering tool and such information gathered may or may not be used by the State Entity to develop a competitive solicitation.  Suppliers are not required to respond to an RFI and a supplier¿s failure to respond to an RFI will not prohibit the supplier¿s participation in any competitive solicitation that may result from the RFI. However, suppliers are strongly encouraged to respond as this is a great way to ensure the State Entity is aware of the suppliers¿ available goods and services.
