REQUST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ON PENDING PROCUREMENT

Leading Edge Technologies (LETs), as defined in this RFI, are highly sophisticated and cutting edge developments in the extensive field of information technology (IT).  LETs do not imply the newest, untested, or the highly riskiest technologies. Those types of IT developments, which we are not specifically addressing in this RFI, are typically referred as “Bleeding Edge Technologies.”

The GSA Alliant 2 GWAC Acquisition Team (GSA) has developed a current list of 18 LETs that are being considered as a part of the pending procurement relevant experience proposal evaluation, and perhaps a part of the scope.  Please note that the list of these proposed 18 LETs is the result of several months of GSA research and IT industry market research.  It is not necessarily GSA’s final list.  Changes may occur before an RFP is released based upon further industry market and agency client research.

The brief survey provided on the attached FBO web link below is exclusively for market research purposes so that GSA can determine and broadly measure the experience level of these proposed LETs.  The survey covers both pending procurements, unrestricted and small business; so, it’s very important that you indicate on the first question if you are a small business or other than a small business.  A section for comments is provided, however, it is completely optional.

All surveys are anonymously submitted to GSA with non-attribution to the company or individual completing the form.

Please have your company’s appropriate technical or contracting representative take five minutes to respond to the survey.  It’s simply a multiple-choice form of only “yes or “no” questions.  Your company’s responses will continue to help GSA develop a more valuable interagency contract vehicle. 

Thank You!
