The only known capable source with access to the proprietary data necessary to provide this requirement is Concepts, NREC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a). The Contracting Officer determined that Concepts NREC is the only source that can reasonably meet the Government’s requirement in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C.

The Government intends to award a purchase order to Concepts, NREC, the OEM.
