The U.S. Government is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for Washer, Dryer, and Duct Maintenance and Repair services to provide support to the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) on a small business set-aside basis. This notice aims to gauge interest and capability among small businesses, including those in various socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), Small Disadvantaged, and Women-Owned businesses, before potentially issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) or similar solicitation in the future. Firms responding must provide specific information, including their business status, prior experience, and any factors that may restrict competition. The document outlines that responses should be submitted by January 15, 2025, and sets a maximum page limit of five for capabilities statements. Additionally, it includes a request for suggestions on how to structure contract requirements to foster competition. This Sources Sought Notice serves as a preparatory step to ensure that the government can assess market capabilities while adhering to small business initiatives before any formal contracting process begins.
