The 20th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to Intoximeter Inc., 2081 Craig Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146, for Intox DMT Breath System.

A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2 (b): (1) Agency and Activity: 20th Contracting Squadron, Shaw AFB, SC (2) Nature of action being approved: Sole source acquisition.

(8) Description of market research: Market researched determined that due to the restrictive nature of the requirement no other vendor could fulfill the need. (9) Other supporting facts: Choosing another vendor's breath alcohol testing system would not be incompliance with SLED state requirements. (10) Interested Sources: None at this time.
