The intended contract action is for services and supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, as it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
