This is a Synopsis Notification (Intent to Sole Source).  The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at West Point intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to only one responsible source in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i).  "Only one responsible source" is based on the company being the sole developer and provider of the product and/or service and is therefore the only source capable of satisfying the Government's requirement.  The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with:

                                       Offensive Security Services LLC

                                       DBA Off-Sec Services Ltd.

                                       230 Park Avenue, 3rd Fl.

                                       New York, NY 10169-0018
