This Notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the USFWS intends to make this award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform interested parties of the USFWS's intent to award this sole-source contract to Illumina, Inc. due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and Illumina's inability to be replaced by other providers without voiding the manufacturer's warranty.
