The document justifies a sole-source award to MA Tech Services, Inc. for the maintenance of specific equipment. The rationale is that MA Tech Services, Inc. is the original manufacturer and the only entity qualified to provide service, ensuring system performance and avoiding costly delays or errors. The Contracting Officer has determined this sole-source order provides the best value and lowest overall cost. Market research was not conducted due to the unique qualifications of MA Tech Services, Inc., and the requirement will be synopsized on sam.gov. No other facts support the justification, and no actions can be taken to overcome the restricted consideration for future acquisitions.
