The acquisition is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract without options. A Sources Sought notice (FD2030-25-00922) was posted to SAM.Gov on 27-January-2025 with a closing date of 4-February-2025, resulting in no vendor interest. The sole source is General Electric Company (CAGE 07482), with authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The justification cites AMSC Code R, indicating the Government does not own data or rights needed to procure from another source and it is not economical to procure the data or rights.
