The Government believes that the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency¿s requirement is FTS. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. The estimated value of this acquisition is $173,246.75. No Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued, and no response will be made to letters or telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation.

This is not a request for competitive quotes, but serves as a procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The requirement is unrestricted and the NAICS code 334513 applies. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required items are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer referencing action 140L3725Q0013.

However, they must provide convicting evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost that will not exceed the total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be fully considered. If no affirmative responses are received by 5pm Eastern on February 14th, 2025 to the effect that a comparable source exists, an order will be placed with FTS for the requirement stated here.
