The statutory authority for the sole source procurement of these services is RFO Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a), Soliciting from a Single Source, which states,

Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this notice.

In addition, be advised that the U.S. Government will not be able to set­aside this requirement for small businesses unless 2 or more small businesses respond with information sufficient to support the requirement as a set-aside. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service­Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price.
