Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted for this requirement. The applicable NAICS code is 811210 with a $34MIL size standard. The PSC is AB21. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
