The Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Theater Support Center seeks market research insights regarding Mission Support Services (MSS) at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico. The RFI, identified as W51EW7-24-R-0020, is part of preliminary efforts to enhance coordination between the U.S. Government and industry, gathering information on specialized personnel and expertise for operational and developmental testing. It emphasizes that this RFI is not a proposal request and that the government does not guarantee future solicitations or compensation for responses. Interested companies should provide detailed company information, capabilities related to the requirements in the attached Draft Performance Work Statement, and their strategies for managing costs and workforce dynamics in a government contracting context. Respondents are encouraged to submit questions and comments but will not receive answers during this process. Submissions must be sent electronically by 2:00 PM Central Time on October 23, 2024, adhering to specified formats and page limits. This RFI thus serves as a preliminary outreach to assess market capabilities related to MSS needs at WSMR without committing to any contracting decisions.
