Evaluation
The DEA intends to award this as a sole source to Chainbridge Technologies, citing that Chainbridge created, built, and owns the SQLBI Data Base Tracking System. Market research conducted by the Contracting Officer yielded no other vendor interest, leading to the determination that only one source is reasonably available. However, in accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), other vendors may submit a capability statement for consideration. A determination not to open the requirement to competition is solely at the Government's discretion.
