This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. This is not an evaluation of proposals but an assessment of vendors’ capabilities. Therefore, a high-level assessment of the capability statements will be performed.

• Core Competencies to demonstrate expertise.
