Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The 355th Contracting Office will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information.

At this time, alternatives are not being accepted as the Air Force expressly identifies this product as the only approved product. All responding vendors' contact information will be retained in the contract for potential future requirements
