Justification & Evaluation

This document serves as a justification for the sole-source award. Market research, including a Sources Sought notice, was conducted. The justification concludes that a sole-source award to the incumbent is the most advantageous path due to significant cost savings (anticipated minimum of $47,120 over five years), avoidance of upfront equipment costs, and uninterrupted service. This is not a solicitation for proposals.

Additional Notes

Future requirements for similar services are anticipated to be competed. The government anticipates zero installation delay by continuing with the incumbent.
