Submission & Evaluation
This is not a solicitation, and no solicitation document is available. However, responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. Responses must provide sufficient evidence demonstrating the company's ability to meet the described requirements and must be more advantageous to the Government than the proposed sole source award.
Submissions should be sent electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, referencing SS-FIN-26-027/Attn: AJohnson/EMarshall. Required information includes company name, location, contact details, business size, UEI number, specific product details, and whether content is available via a Government contract vehicle or Open Market. A brief capabilities statement (not exceeding 5 pages) describing the company's standard line of business and customer list is also required.
The Government reserves the discretion not to compete this procurement. If no written response is received by the deadline that clearly demonstrates capability and offers a more advantageous solution, the award will proceed on a sole source basis to Intuition Machines, Inc.
Additional Notes
Only Microsoft Office non-macro enabled compatible documents and .PDF documents are acceptable for submission. Telephone responses or inquiries will not be accepted, and no further information regarding this Special Notice will be provided at this time.
