- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9, intends to issue a Firm Fixed Priced contract under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized, on October 1, 2024 to LRP Publications, Inc.

In addition to case law, regulations, forms, manuals, and handbooks, LRP's attorneys, former federal employment law experts, editors, and journalists provide guidance, interpretive analysis, and training not available from other sources. This is a sole source requirement because it is an exclusive web source for an instant searchable federal civil service law database.
