The offeror shall prepare their proposal in accordance with mandatory, explicit and detailed instructions contained in the RFP. The government does not own the technical drawings required to produce/repair these components.  The government intends to solicit and negotiate with Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1(a) (2). There is only one responsible source, CPI, Computer and Power Industries, CAGE CODE 0MH33, that can fulfill this acquisition for these NSNs as stated above since they are the only vendor that has the proprietary technical data to support this effort.

We anticipate the release of the RFP on or around 04 December 2020 with an estimated response date of 03 January 2021. The RFP and all attachments will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities webpage (http://www.fbo.gov/).
