The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), U.S. Department of State, at the U.S. Embassy in Quito, Ecuador, intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract on a sole source basis to AVP SISTEMAS S.A. for the renewal of proprietary forensic software licenses and services.

The acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as only one responsible source is capable of providing the required supplies and services.
