The U.S. Government currently intends to award a contract for Rapid-RCx Program subscription on an SOLE SOURCE basis, but is seeking vendors that may be able to perform this requirement in order to support a competitive procurement.

In addition, small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), must describe their identifying capabilities in meeting the requirements at a fair market price, i.e., information which may help support a set-aside. The proposed sole source firm fixed price contract is to SureID, Inc. for the Rapid-RCx Program subscription. The statutory authority for the sole source procurement is Title 40 U.S.C 501, Services for Executive Agencies, as implemented by FAR 8.405-6.
