Not withstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of providing the required items as stated herein may submit a capability statement to document its ability to provide the required item. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities/comparability, pricing, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the Government's needs to the point of contact located herein.
