Responding is voluntary, and the notice states that submitting—or not submitting—a response should not affect eligibility for future procurements. Businesses that appear potentially relevant may be asked to provide information about their Indigenous ownership or leadership, design capabilities, experience, geographic coverage, and capacity for construction- or service-related work.
