- This is a notice of the intent of the St. Cloud VA Medical Center, 4801 Veterans Drive, St. Cloud, Minnesota, to award a sole source contract to Granite Electronics of St. Cloud, Minnesota for the connections to allow the interoperability with the State ARMER radio system which allows communication between VA Police and the community police, fire and ambulance services in the event of a diaster or emergency. This service is for a one time connection and continued maintenance between the city and the VA systems. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and FAR Part 12. This authority is cited and justification is based on the determination that the government's minimum needs can best be satisfied by the services available from only one source. This is considered a sole source with Granite Electronics because of their specialization in radio communications and the clearances that have been previously granted to them. This is a secured communications network governed by state and local regulations given only to firms demonstrating sufficient technical skills, passing extensive background investigations and have been approved by the State Radio Board. Granite Electronics is the only out-state vendor that is qualified. Other persons may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement by September 26, 2005. Such qualifications/capabilities will be perused solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition based on responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable and responses received after September 26, 2005 will not be considered.
