SUBSECTION 8.405-6, LIMITING SOURCES

I. BACKGROUND:

2. IAW FAR Subsection 8.405-6(a)(1)(A), (B) or (C), this memorandum explains the absence of consideration of all otherwise eligible Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) holders for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement and requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
