Responses must clearly indicate the country of origin of the product, and while the agency encourages submissions from all vendors including small businesses and foreign manufacturers, preference is given to authorized American products. This RFI is strictly for market research purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or binding contract; no award will be made based on responses, and pricing information is not required or expected. All submissions must be received by August 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST and can be submitted via GSA, SAM/FedConnect, or email to [email hidden] with the subject line including the RFI number 68HE0M26Q0020. Responses are not considered offers and will not be accepted to form any contractual obligation, and the government assumes no responsibility for costs incurred in preparing submissions. The point of contact is limited to email, with no telephone inquiries permitted, and responses will be reviewed by EPA technical staff and supporting contractors for use in future procurement planning. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, pricing details, or binding requirements apply, as this instrument is purely informational and preparatory.
