The period of performance is 133 days after Notice to Proceed, with an independent government cost estimate prepared for the project. The contracting activity is Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC). The sole source award is authorized under 41 USC §3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c), utilizing VAAR 819.7008 deviation authority, which permits non-competitive awards up to $5,000,000 to certified SDVOSBs.

The selected contractor, CHP Solutions, LLC, has been determined to be a responsible source and is a verified SDVOSB. Price analysis will be conducted by comparing the contractor's proposed price against the independent government cost estimate in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b)(5); certified cost and pricing data is not required. Market research identified 24 certified SDVOSBs in North Carolina under NAICS code 237130, and the contracting officer discussed local market conditions with the contractor, who met eligibility criteria under VAAR 819.7003. The acquisition plan action ID is 36C776-25-AP-0987. Future similar projects will be solicited using full and open competition procedures under FAR Part 36.
