PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source contract with Immersive Media Company (IMC), 16104 NE 22nd Street, Vancouver, WA 98684, for software and hardware upgrades for its two existing Spherical Video systems as well as twelve (12) months of hardware and software support and maintenance.

Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the government and related industry, it has been determined the FBI's requirement can only be met by IMC.
