Contract Opportunity

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

This procurement is intended as a sole source requirement to C2 Robotics Pty, Ltd (CAGE Code: Z1EQ2). C2 Robotics is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for these LUUVs.
