Sole source authority is provided under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

This increase will allow the Government to continue to provide FTSP on-call field maintenance and operator certification training support, meeting the demand in fire-fighting related training capability at schoolhouses throughout the world until the follow-on competitive contract is awarded. The anticipated award date for this contract action is 15 January 2023.
