THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION. This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal.

If no affirmative written response is received, the service contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed service contract is based on the Tribal Sovereignty of the Pueblo of Santa Ana; the Pueblo of Santa Ana has planned to perform the required service themselves, due to the fact that the installed system is the proprietary possession of the Pueblo of Santa Ana, the Pueblo has the technical skills necessary to repair and operate the system and the Pueblo will not provide access to the system to an alternative source. The Pueblo of Santa Ana is willing to grant the COE access, if the Pueblo of Santa Ana performs the service themselves.
