The notice states that GCH Technologies Inc. is the only known responsible source, citing its exclusive control of the codes and the risks to service continuity if they were changed. This is an intent-to-sole-source special notice, with a firm-fixed-price base year from 12/22/2026 through 12/21/2027 and four option years.
