Please see the attached RFI for complete details.

This is a Request for Information (RFI), as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

15.201(e). The U.S. Government is issuing this RFI in an effort to understand market

availability, technical characteristics, cost, and functionality of Information Technology (IT)

tools, applications or products capable of satisfying the life-cycle technical, functional,

operational, and/or capabilities described in this RFI.

Any information submitted by respondents to this request is strictly voluntary. This is not a

request for proposal, request for quotation, or invitation for bid, nor does its issuance obligate

or restrict the U.S. Government to an eventual acquisition approach. The U.S. Government does

not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses from this RFI or pay for the

preparation of any information submitted or for the use of such information. All information

received from this RFI will be used for planning and market research purposes only.

To the maximum extent possible, please submit non-proprietary information. Any proprietary

information submitted should be identified as such and will be properly protected from

disclosure. The U.S. Government shall not be liable for damages related to proprietary

information that is not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in

accordance with the applicable U.S. Government regulations. Responses to the RFI will not be

returned.

This RFI is issued solely for information purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal

(RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the U.S.

Government to contract for any supply or service in any manner. Respondents are advised that

the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in

response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the

interested parties’ expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any

future RFP, if any is issued.
