This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

It is anticipated that a firm-fixed priced, sole-source purchase order will be issued for the proper sampling, packaging, transporting, and analysis of hazardous material samples at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source (Hendrix Enterprises, Madison, AL) under the authority of FAR 13.106 under FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
