The decision not to engage in competitive procurement rests solely with the Government.

Any responses to this notice should present clear and convincing evidence that competition would be beneficial to the Government. Additionally, responsible sources are invited to submit a capabilities statement demonstrating, by a preponderance of the evidence, that another contractor can fulfill a service contract for the Lumenis Nuera Tight System at the James A.
