Evaluation
This is NOT a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The Government intends to award a sole source contract to Hologic Sales and Service, LLC, citing their proprietary ownership of the equipment and associated software as the reason they are the only vendor capable of providing the required services. Vendors who challenge this basis must submit a capability statement with sufficient detail and convincing evidence demonstrating their ability to provide these services. The Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete this requirement based on responses.
