This acquisition is being procured using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of FAR Part 13.5 procedures. This solicitation has been set aside 100% for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) which includes all CLIN items being requested in the solicitation. The Government intends to solicit this requirement and award a subsequent contract without discussions, clarifications, or negotiations.

Offerors are encouraged to provide their best offer initially because the opportunity to enter into discussions or to provide a better offer at a later time will not be possible. The Government intends to award to the offeror whose offer represents the best value to the government after consideration of all technical and price factors. FAR Part 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items: does not apply to this solicitation. Pursuant to FAR subpart 13.106-2, the Government will award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to a single successful offeror/contractor whose offer/quote in response to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government.
