Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

10 USC 2304(c)(1) or 41 use 253(c)(1); FAR 6.302-1: Only one responsible source andno other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.Services can only be provided from the original source as this is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
