Market research indicates that North Star Imaging, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), is the only source capable of providing the required services.
- Very short response window. Capability statements are due within five calendar days of publication, so there is little time to respond.
responsible sources may submit a capability statement within five calendar days of this notice’s publication
- Government may not compete it. Responses are only used to decide whether to compete, and the decision is solely the Government's.
The Government’s decision not to compete this requirement is solely within its discretion.
