A Sources Sought Notice yielded no interest from alternate vendors, reinforcing the need for this sole-source acquisition. The document certifies that market research supports the acquisition's fairness and that efforts will be made to encourage competition in future solicitations. It concludes with statements of accuracy and completeness from the contracting officer and other officials involved in the procurement process. This justification aligns with the government's need to maintain military readiness through proper equipment functionality.
