The procurement is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which permits other than full and open competition when only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements. If no qualifying responses are received within the specified timeframe, the contract will be awarded to NeuWave Medical Inc. without further competition.
