- Serious: Government intends to use only one source. The notice says the Government plans to negotiate with one source and does not name it. Other firms may respond, but the Government may not compete the work.
- Serious: Incomplete source approval data means no award. Offers that lack the full data required by the Source Approval Brochure, or proof it was already sent, are not considered.
