• This is a draft RFQ for market research. A final RFQ will be issued separately through GSA eBUY.

• The maximum ceiling for potential orders under this BPA is $75,000,000.

• Orders placed under this BPA are expected to be Firm Fixed Price (FFP).

• The market research aims to determine if the requirement can be set aside for small businesses, a specific socioeconomic category, or issued on an unrestricted basis.
