Additional Notes
The government's market research and a prior "Notice of Intent to Sole Source" did not yield responses from other potential vendors, leading to the determination that only one source is reasonably available. The Air Force intends to continue monitoring the market to preclude future sole-source awards. Primary Contact: Parris F. Watson (parris.watson.2@us.af.mil, 210-652-9101).
