The U.S. Government is conducting market research to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing Base Test Support Services (BTSS) at Fort Cavazos, Texas, Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This request is a Sources Sought Notice and serves only for planning and information gathering; it is not an invitation for bids or proposals. The procurement is anticipated to be a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services) with a $47 million size standard, pending interest and capability from at least two qualified small businesses. Businesses from all small business socioeconomic categories are encouraged to respond, providing information about their qualifications, business status, relevant experience, types of teaming arrangements, and suggestions for improving competition and contract structure.

Interested parties have until June 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM CST to submit responses to the designated Army contracting officials. The notice clarifies there is no commitment to any future solicitation or contract, and participation is voluntary and at the company's own expense.
