Open Sources Sought Notices and RFIs on SAM.gov

There are 723 open sources sought notices and RFIs on SAM.gov. 455 close within the next 14 days. The busiest buyers are Department of the Air Force (126), Department of the Army (122) and Defense Logistics Agency (106).

A sources sought notice is market research: the agency is asking which businesses can do the work before it writes the solicitation. It is not a request for proposals, and nothing is awarded from it. SAM.gov has no separate notice type for a request for information (RFI); agencies post them as sources sought notices or special notices, and this page also lists special notices titled as an RFI. A response, usually a capability statement and answers to the agency's questions, tells the contracting officer your company exists and can inform whether the work is set aside for small business. Market research is governed by FAR Part 10.

What a response usually includes

  • Company name, UEI, CAGE code and a point of contact.
  • Business size under the notice's NAICS code and any SBA certifications held.
  • A short capability statement.
  • Relevant past work, with dates and customers you can name.
  • An answer to each of the agency's questions, in its order and within its page limit.
  • Prime or subcontractor role, if the notice asks.

The notice's own instructions govern: follow its format, page limit and due date.

KPsphere AI ScoutBOT can draft a starter response package for a sources sought or RFI: an AI-generated first draft your team checks and finishes. Packages are $299 each, or 2 a month on the Capture plan (extras $199).

Questions

Is a sources sought notice a solicitation?
No. It is market research the agency does before deciding how to buy. A response is not an offer, and nothing is awarded from it.
Is an RFI the same as a sources sought?
Both are market research and neither is a solicitation. An RFI usually asks how the work could be done; a sources sought usually asks who can do it.
