Combined Solicitation & Notice of Intent (SOLE SOURCE)
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with RFO FAR 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued [RFO12.202(b)(1)]
