Responses to this sources sought synopsis will be used by the Government to make appropriate determinations about potential sources only. The intended contract will have a planned performance period of 92 months. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541990. After review of the responses to this sources sought synopsis, a solicitation announcement may be published in the Federal Business Opportunities at a later date. Responses to this notice shall include company name, address, point of contact, size of business pursuant to the applicable NAICS code, and must respond to the following questions: (1) Is your business a large or small business? (2) Does your firm qualify as a small or small disadvantaged business? (3) If small disadvantaged, under which disadvantaged group is your firm certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? (4) Are you considered a certified HUBZone firm? (5) Are you considered a woman-owned or operated business? (6) Are you a certified veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned business? The purpose of the NSDUH (formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) is to provide current data on substance use prevalence for the U.S. population and each state, and to issue reports on survey results.
