Evaluation
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Proposals received within 45 days of publication will be considered. A determination not to compete is solely at the Government's discretion, with information used to assess the feasibility of a competitive procurement. New sources must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, which requires Government source approval prior to contract award. The time required for new source approval typically prevents award delays.
