- The vendor shall provide testing educational materials and procedures at no additional cost, deliver all testing supplies at no additional government cost, and ensure supplies meet manufacturer, CLIA, FDA, and CAP requirements.
- The items on the contract are not on a delivery schedule; the customer will call the vendor with order requests as needed.

- The anticipated statutory authority for the sole source procurement is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source.
