OST - Beneficiary Kiosk RFI

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) OR A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. I. INTRODUCTION The Government is seeking Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) that are interested in supporting this project. Other vendors are encouraged to respond to this RFI in case responses are not received from ISBEEs or to improve the project. II. REQUIREMENT The objective of this pilot program is to design, develop and possibly build & deploy an interactive kiosk for beneficiaries to access information at remote locations. Beneficiaries often do not have internet or cellular devices, so OST seeks to create a standalone kiosk. To ensure the highest level of availability these kiosks are anticipated to be located outside of businesses or offices in these remote locations. The kiosk's complete functionality needs to be determined as part of this project. It is not the Government's intent that these will physically store or dispense money.
