I'm buying a widget. Due to budget and the nature of the widget, I am buying a used widget. The people who normally sell these widgets have never worked with the gov't and do not monitor beta.sam.gov or even know what it is. An RFI was released and after I contacted at least 40 widget companies, I received 2 responses. The RFP was posted for 30 days and we held 3 "bidders informational calls" to entice bidders into getting more information on the solicitation process and help them feel at ease working with the gov't. No one called in the 1st 2 times, we did get 2 callers on the 3rd call (this is after again notifying dozens of potential bidders multiple times). We are anticipating getting zero bids. What are our options for sole sourcing? We know there are multiple widgets available by sellers, just not sellers who are interested in going thru the solicitation and bid process. We have considered a UON as a justification. Is there another avenue? And if we are able to sole source, can we just select the best looking/priced widget and approach that company and see if they will work with us on a sole source basis? Thanks for any advice!
