Firms who want to challenge the sole-source determination must submit an interest letter that clearly demonstrates their firm's ability to provide a Form, Fit, and Function (FFF) equivalent supply that meets all original OEM specifications without requiring reverse-engineering or causing unacceptable mission delays.
Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether conducting a competitive procurement in the future is in the best interest of the Government. All information submitted should support the offeror's capability to provide the supplies required and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. The 30th Contracting Squadron will not reimburse any costs connected with providing capability information. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
