The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for sole source acquisitions when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The notice was posted on February 25, 2025, with a response deadline of February 27, 2025.

Contractors must send their responses to James W. Craig via email at james.craig1@va.gov by 10:00 am CST on the specified date. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation, and no award will be made based on quotes or offers received in response to the notice.
