The response deadline is set for 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2025, during which interested vendors can submit alternate solutions that potentially overcome the sole/single source justification.

The responses must be submitted and posted online no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2025.

Any responses received as a result of this Notice of Intent shall be considered solely for determining whether bona fide competition exists that overcomes the reasons stated on the sole/single source documentation.
