Evaluation
This is not a formal solicitation for bids. However, the Government will consider capability statements from interested firms. The primary evaluation factor is whether a respondent can provide evidence that a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the Government. If no viable alternative sources are identified, the USAFA will proceed with the sole-source award to Parsons Corp. under the authority of FAR Parts 12 and 13.
Additional Notes
Market research conducted via GSA Advantage and other government sources indicated that Parsons Corp. is the only responsible source for this specific equipment. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.
