Additional Notes
A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) was previously prepared for these proprietary Volvo Penta parts, citing 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) due to the unavailability of technical data for alternative equipment. However, this solicitation is open to all responsible sources under a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The government will continue market research for future acquisitions to potentially enable full and open competition.
