Please include the following administrative information and answer the generic and specific capability questions below. A. Administrative & Company Information: Company Name, Address, and Point of Contact (Name, Title, Phone, Email). Unique Entity ID (UEI) and CAGE Code. Business Size and Socioeconomic Status under NAICS 541810 (e.g., Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB).

What specific background checks (e.g., criminal, driving record) do you mandate for your drivers before campaign launch? Do you have the capability to provide monthly GPS heat maps and real-time mileage tracking of the wrapped vehicles? How do you calculate your impression metrics, and do you use an independent or third-party verification system for this data? 4. Pre-Solicitation Questions & Answers (Q&A) The following Anticipated Q&A is provided to assist interested parties in understanding the Government's requirement and the current market research phase. Q1: Is there an incumbent contractor currently performing these exact services? A1: No, this is a new requirement for the Government. Q2: Has a decision been made regarding a small business set-aside for this requirement? A2: No. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine the availability of capable small businesses (including 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB). The Government will use the responses to this notice to make an informed decision on the acquisition strategy and any potential set-asides. Q3: Will the Government provide the 2,000 brochures/literature pieces, or is the contractor responsible for the printing costs? A3: The Government will provide the physical brochures/literature pieces to the contractor. The contractor is only responsible for the allocation and distribution of these materials via the campaign drivers. Q4: Does the Government require the vehicles to be dedicated solely to this campaign, or can they be active rideshare vehicles operating their normal routes? A4: The Government expects these to be active rideshare (or similar) vehicles operating their normal daily routes, provided those routes consistently overlap with the targeted geographic zones (Middletown, Dover, Georgetown/Milton, and Delaware Beach Towns). Q5: Will the Government accept alternative advertising methods, such as public transit (buses/trains) or static billboards? A5: At this time, the Government is specifically researching the capability for wrapped rideshare/ambassador vehicles that allow for targeted geographic roaming and direct passenger collateral distribution. However, if a vendor believes an alternative approach meets the core intent and deliverables, they are welcome to detail that alternative in their Capability Statement. Q6: When does the Government anticipate releasing the official Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP)? A6: The solicitation release date is currently To Be Determined (TBD) and is contingent upon the results of this market research and subsequent funding availability. 5.
