This is a Request for Information (RFI) ONLY and is issued by Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) on behalf of the Office of Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech).
