NOI-SS

A Notice of Intent to Sole Source is a public announcement that an agency plans to award a contract without competition to a specific source. NOI-SS publications provide opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate capability or challenge the sole source determination.

NOI-SS responses may enable contractors to compete for otherwise limited competition opportunities. Understanding NOI-SS procedures helps contractors monitor and respond to sole source announcements. NOI-SS periods allow industry input before final acquisition decisions.
