As stipulated in FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers, shall not be used as a proposal, and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any services whatsoever. We are not seeking proposals at this time. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. The information received will be utilized by RCC-South in developing an acquisition strategy and Purchase Description and Specification. The information in this notice is based on current information available to date. This information is subject to change and is not binding to the Government. Responses to this RFI may or may not be returned. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitations, if one is issued. Any resulting procurement action will be the subject of a separate, future announcement. The proposed acquisition is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and award in conjunction with policies procedures from FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The proposed acquisition is expected to be a firm fixed price contract for a ten (10) month base period, which includes a sixty (45-60) day mobilization period (estimated), and no option periods. The requirement calls for an approximate of 500-600 guards, armorers, and management personnel; no less than 30% of which must be FVEY Expatriates, with the remaining 70% from an allowable ISAF Troop Contributing Nation: h t t p:/ / www. n a t o. i nt/ I S A F/ st r uc t u r e/ n a t i o n s / i n d e x. h t ml The following information is provided to assist with developing your response: 1.
