The above authority is cited and justification made based on the determination that the Government's minimum needs can best be satisfied by services available from one source.

A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation document is available.
