 Based on the foregoing and the market research available at this time, the Government's needs under this acquisition are not currently available as either a commercial item or non-developmental item (NDI) nor are they available with slight modifications to commercially available items as defined in FAR 2.10. In addition, the Government performance requirements cannot be revised so as to become commercially available under the FAR definition.  Based on the analysis of the acquired information cited above, a negative determination of commerciality has been rendered at this time.  Therefore the provisions of FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items will not be used.

 This solicitation will contain TWO lots for award; ONE Small Business Set-Aside Lot and ONE Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside Lot.  (The solicitation will also include a Lot 0003 - Small Business Set-Aside lot, to be evaluated only if Lot 0002 is dissolved due to no acceptable offers being received from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns.)
