While the government will evaluate all responses received, it retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement or proceed with the sole source award to Olympus America, Inc. No formal solicitation documents are currently available, and interested parties should direct all communications to the contracting officer via email rather than by telephone. This Special Notice represents a limited opportunity for firms to challenge the sole source designation before the government's final procurement decision.
