Local Contingency Support Capabilities

The 31st Contracting Squadron is conducting market research in support of operational contract support and contingency planning. We are seeking information from local contractors, suppliers, and service providers regarding their ability to provide commodities, equipment, personnel, and services during contingency operations.

For purposes of this request, “local” means an organization capable of providing the requested commodities or services within the area of operations at Aviano Air Base, Italy, or capable of delivering or performing at Aviano Air Base within 48 hours of notification, subject to availability, applicable legal requirements, and mission conditions.

This request is for planning and information-gathering purposes only. It is not a solicitation, request for quotation, or request for proposal. Responses will not result in the award, modification, or termination of any contract and will not affect future contract requirements, source selections, or evaluations. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with preparing or submitting information. The Government may use the information received to support acquisition planning and identify available commercial capabilities.
