NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. This is a notice of intent to solicit and award a sole source contract set forth in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a), Restricting competition. The Department of Veteran Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 12 (NCO-12) Great Lakes Acquisition Center, intends to negotiate a sole source Firm-Fixed Price to Imagine Milling Technologies Inc: 607 S Euclid St, Fullerton, CA, 92832 IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation/Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.102.
