Rationale for Sole-Source Award
The decision to limit competition was based on the substantial duplication of cost to the Government, which would not be recovered through competition, and the potential for unacceptable delays in meeting critical agency requirements. Competing this effort would necessitate a new vendor to duplicate significant prior investments in development and testing, which was deemed neither cost-effective nor feasible.
