This is only a Sources Sought Announcement and is not a Request for Quote (RFQ). A RFQ is not being issued at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a RFQ or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach.

In all contracts where the limitation on subcontracting applies, there is a limit on the amount of work that can be subcontracted to businesses that are not ¿similarly situated ¿ to the prime contractor. A similarly situated subcontractor is a business that would have qualified under the set-aside that was used for the acquisition. 3.
