The authority for this action is RFO FAR 6.103-1 only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

However, any responsible source who can provide an equivalent service with the features described above, may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Wednesday, September 3, 2025, 11:00 AM, EDT. Interest/capability statements which specifically detail how your service meets the requirement may be sent to Shannon Hukriede at shannon.hukriede@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted.
