Quantities reserved for 8(a) and SDVO firms where only one of those firms meets AMS qualification requirements will be awarded on a sole source basis through issuance of a letter RFP issued directly to those companies. The solicitation is expected to be available on or after May 5, 2017, and will be available electronically through USDA Web Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) system located at https://portal.wbscm.usda.gov/publicprocurement and also through a link to the aforementioned website in the document package attached to the solicitation notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
