The contracting officer is conducting market research to determine if the solicitation is to be set aside for small businesses or as unrestricted.

Contractors are reminded that should this acquisition become a Small Business set aside, FAR 52.219-6, Notice of Total Small Business Set-aside, will apply, which if offers are received from concerns that are not small business concerns shall be considered nonresponsive and will be rejected. All of the above must be submitted in sufficient detail for a decision to be made on a Small Business set-aside.
