The award is planned as a firm-fixed-price purchase order to DataPhysics Instruments USA Corp on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.103-1 because only one responsible source is reasonably available. All timely responses from responsible sources will still be evaluated to determine whether another source can satisfy the requirements.
