A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The NAICS code is 561591.

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:



AFRL/RIGC required the services of IDGA for providing exhibit space for the IDGA's 5th Annual Sensor to Shooter Conference on 31 March 2008 through 2 April 2008 at the Hilton Hotel in Arlington, VA. The conference will highlight the SmartCapture Advanced Video Coding technology developed in part by AFRL Dual Use program and other AFRL programs. IDGA is the sponsor of this event; therefore, no other source of supply exists. A search was conducted for other available conferences to reach the intended audience; however, the Sensor to Shooter Conference is the most effective for the presentation of the Dual Use program.
