This solicitation number DAAE07-00-R-L032 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ), on a sole-source basis to Continuum, Santa Clara, California, for renewal of an annual maintenance agreement, covering preventative & corrective maintenance, on a reimbursable basis.

This equipment is currently located at the US Army Tank-Automotive Command in Warren, Michigan. c. This RFQ is issued on a sole-source basis to Continuum. Note 22 applies. Continuum is the laser manufacturer and only known source for this effort. So as not to mislead, any source wishing to be considered for this effort would have a substantial burden of proof to overcome, as it were, in order to demonstrate the requisite laser equipment model & service knowledge and accessibility to repair/replacement parts.
