Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the requested commodities or services by January 4, 2024. If it is determined that the device is available only from a single source, the BPHL will provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract.

The contract opportunity is not subject to any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided regarding any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for the procurement is $58,308.00.
