No decision to pursue an acquisition or identification of a contracting organization to be responsible for an acquisition has been made. The government will not pay for information received in response to this RFI and is in no way obligated by the information received to take any action.

Identifying measurably substantial benefits in cost savings/price reductions (10% or more) Identifying quality improvements that will save time or enhance performance Identify opportunities for better terms and conditions 2. The benefits industry sees in consolidating these services in a some, none, or all fashion. To include the number of awards recommended to ensure all capability areas are met or exceeded.

Are there capabilities listed that you feel could not be accomplished by a commercially available solution? What challenges do you perceive exist with recruiting and retaining a highly skilled workforce in the specialty capabilities required? How would you recommend the Government manage or mitigate those risks? What Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and/or Government Furnished Property (GFP) do you believe you may need to meet this requirement? How long of a mobilization period would be required from contract award to full operations? What activities, beyond badging do you anticipate would take place during this period?
