CBP is utilizing the FAR 6.302-1 justification that only one responsible source exists to satisfy the agency's requirements. The procurement seeks an analyst to provide FOIA services for CBP's Office of Field Operations, with the contract to be awarded through Neevsys' existing OASIS+ 8(a) contract vehicle. The notice explicitly states that no solicitation will be made available and this is not a request for quotations. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334220, though the category description indicates Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services.
