This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract, and is not a request for competitive quotes/proposals. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is prescribed by FAR 6.302-1. The implementation of this contract action is essential to continuing critical logistics support tasks currently provided in support of all Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program areas while additional contract actions continue to openly compete this requirement.
