- Sources Sought Notice The purpose of this sources sought notice is to determine the interest and feasibility of a small business set-aside for the following requirement: Survey of SNAP and Work. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government, nor will the U.S. Government pay for information solicited. The information from this notice will help the Food and Nutrition Service plan their acquisition strategy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service is seeking a contractor to survey a representative sample of nondisabled 18 to 59 year old Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants from all 50 States and the District of Columbia and produce National and State-level statistics on participant characteristics relevant to employment. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. The Food and Nutrition Service, Office of Policy Support & Contracts Management Division, is conducting a market survey to determine the availability and technical capability of qualified small businesses, including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), 8(a) small businesses, woman-owned small businesses (WOSB), veteran owned small businesses (VOSB), service- disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), and Historically Under-utilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small businesses capable of conducting a large-scale National and State-level primary survey data collection and rigorous data management, coding, and analysis of the resulting survey data. The purpose of this study is to examine and understand current and past workforce participation characteristics among nondisabled adult SNAP participants. Only electronic copies of capability statements will be accepted and should be emailed to: Natasha Abbington at Natasha.Abbington@fns.usda.gov. The e-mail shall contain the following subject line: Response to Sources Sought Notice – AG-3198-S-17-0055 : Survey of SNAP and Work. A determination by the Government to proceed with the acquisition as a set-aside is within the discretion of the Government. If capability statements are not received from at least two responsible small businesses or if the Government determines that no small business concerns are capable of performing this requirement based upon an assessment of the capability statements submitted, the Government may proceed with a full and open competition. Please submit all information to Natasha Abbington at Natasha.Abbington@fns.usda.gov no later than May 05, 2017 by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
