This notice provides details of the Army's intent to award a sole source contract to Makergear LLC.

Interested parties have until August 25th, 2022 to provide clear evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, with any questions regarding the notice to be directed to the specified contracting officer by the stated deadline.
