The Army's Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas is doing market research (sources sought) for annual testing and repair of ten underground fuel storage tanks and their monitoring systems. The tests are required to stay compliant with Kansas Department of Health and Environment rules. The notice is marked as a total small business set-aside in SAM, though the text says the final approach (set-aside or open competition) depends on the responses.
Watch out for
- Market research only. This is not a solicitation, responses are unpaid and no feedback is given, so it only positions you for a possible later bid.
No funds are available to pay for the preparation of responses to this announcement.
- State certification required to be credible. You are asked to show Kansas Department of Health and Environment certification, which a small firm may not already hold.
Evidence of certification from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment
- Set-aside not final. The Army may use full and open competition, in which case a small business would compete with larger firms.
Read from the notice text only.
