Evaluation
This is a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract. While responses from other firms will be evaluated, the government retains sole discretion not to compete the proposed procurement. The acquisition is conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (41 U.S.C. 1901, FAR 13.5) and FAR Part 6.302-2(b)(2) due to only one responsible source.
Additional Notes
The primary purpose of this sole source extension is to ensure continuous patient care during the technical evaluations and award process of a current competitive solicitation for a new 5-year ordering period. A competitive process for this interim period would delay patient care due to necessary background checks, training, and the learning curve for new providers. No solicitation documents are available, and telephone requests will not be accepted.
