The decision on whether to proceed with competition will solely rest with the Government based on the responses received. This document emphasizes the governmental procurement's efficiency and rationale behind the sole-source approach to meet specific logistical requirements.

Specifically, the SOW lists the required part numbers and quantities, all of which must be delivered by June 30, 2026. Careful handling during transport is mandated to protect against damage, and items should be crated appropriately, especially if heated panels are included to avoid moisture.
