Given these facts, Diablo Analytical, Inc. is the only source reasonably available to fulfill the requirement. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 325199 - All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing with a size standard of 1250 employees. No solicitation package will be issued.
