The primary objective of this Special Notice is to communicate the government's intent to negotiate exclusively with PAR Excellence Systems under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5 authority. The justification for sole sourcing stems from the proprietary nature of certain system aspects, which precludes a competitive solicitation process.

The procurement is not subject to any specific set-aside requirements, and the size standard for the NAICS category is 500 employees.
