The effort shall be procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements."

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
