The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC/Teledyne Microwave Solutions in Rancho Cordova, California, (CAGE 11312) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This is being sole sourced because there is a lack of sufficient technical data, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and there would be unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source.

A Solicitation will NOT be posted to www.sam.gov due to the sole source nature of the requirement and will be sent directly to Teledyne.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
