BACKGROUND
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Facilities Management & Security Services (FMSS), is responsible for providing IRS Business Units with sustainable workstations and office furniture that support a safe, secure, and mission-effective work environment.

PURPOSE
This Sources Sought Notice (Notice) is issued for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals, quotations, or bids, nor does it represent a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation in the future. The purpose of this Notice is to identify and assess the availability, interest, and capability of qualified sources to perform the potential requirement described herein. Responses will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy, including the potential for small business participation and any barriers to entry. A draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) is provided for reference.
This Notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or to pay any costs incurred in responding. All costs associated with responding to this Notice are solely the responsibility of the respondent. Responses are not offers and cannot be accepted to form a binding contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort, and the Government is not obligated to pursue any acquisition as a result of this Notice. Responses will not be returned.
The Government reserves the right to use information submitted in response to this Notice for any lawful purpose. Respondents are responsible for clearly marking any proprietary or competition-sensitive information. The Government may use non-proprietary information to develop its acquisition strategy, requirements documentation, and performance specifications. Responses may also be used to evaluate overall market capability, including factors such as technical approach, implementation considerations, lifecycle expectations, cost considerations, and risk. The Government may contact respondents for clarification or additional information as part of this market research.
Respondents should ensure submissions are complete and sufficiently detailed to enable the Government to evaluate their capability to perform the requirement. Failure to respond to this Notice does not preclude participation in any future solicitation. The Government is not required to acknowledge receipt of responses or provide feedback. If a solicitation is issued in the future, it will be synopsized in accordance with applicable regulations; however, responses to this Notice will not be considered responses to any future solicitation.
