$GEO This article discusses the RFI I mentioned in my previous post. But, again, it's an RFI, not a solicitation. It specifically mentions "This notice is issued solely for the purpose of conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposal, or Request for Quotations. No solicitation is being issued at this time". Why is this important? If you look up FAR part 10, it discusses the need to justify paying a price in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold. I am not an expert in this stuff, do your own research.
