This requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The solicitation will be available for review on the Sam website (https://sam.gov). Potential offerors are encouraged to submit offers via email to the address listed on the solicitation.

Therefore IAW with FAR part 5.202(a)(13), exception:

(i) Is for an amount not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold;
(ii) Will be made through a means that provides access to the notice of proposed contract action through the GPE.; and
(iii) Permits the public to respond to the solicitation electronically.

Electronic commerce is defined at 41 USC sec. 426 as electronic techniques for accomplishing business transactions, including electronic mail. Thus, provided the complete solicitation package is available through the GPE and offerors are permitted to respond electronically (i.e., email in this case), the proposed contract action would not need to be synopsized.

Therefore, synopsis is hereby waived as this acquisition is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, request for quote will be made through Sam (https://sam.gov), and the offerors will be able to respond electronically.
