- Description
- The Broadcasting Board of Governors/International Broadcasting Bureau (BBG/IBB) intends to negotiate and award a non-competitive contract to Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs (LM-ADP), Palmdale, CA. This is a sole source procurement in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), other than full and open competition, only one (1) responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the Agency’s requirements. Lockheed Martin shall provide engineering, design, supply, fabrication, assembly, systems integration, testing, documentation and training of TV Marti Airborne Broadcast Platform for the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB). Lockheed Martin, under existing BBG contracts, provided engineering design services to develop the necessary UHF directional antennas; analyze aircraft system modifications, and develop an indepth program plan, to implement the TV Marti Airborne Broadcast Platform, commonly referred to as “AeroMarti”. In performing this work, Lockheed Martin has become fully aware of the in-depth engineering analysis requirements and technical challenges associated with the systems integration of the various ancillary aeronautical and TV broadcast systems, including a UHF transmitter and power systems required for airborne international broadcast operations such as AeroMarti. In addition, Lockheed Martin has the proprietary rights for the high powered UHF directional TV antenna system required by AeroMarti to provide a "directional" TV signal broadcast to meet the requirements of FCC Memorandum Opinion and Order No. 95-160, dated April 28, 1995. This FCC Order provides that the TV Marti service shall be governed by the same standards regarding objectionable interference as any domestic licensee. Engineering analysis and testing has shown that the Lockheed Martin proprietary antennas are able to provide a "Grade A" UHF television signal from aircraft into the broadcast target area from a distance of 110 miles and still comply with all FCC protection criteria. Those who are interested must have prior demonstrated and documented experience in delivering to (or providing) an international broadcast operation with high powered UHF directional antenna systems required by AeroMarti for the U.S. Government. Interested sources also must have all the required technologies and a proven record of performance in delivering systems like AeroMarti within six (6) months after receipt of award. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive price proposals. Those who are interested must submit adequate documentation of their capability to respond to this requirement. The documentation shall be sufficient in detail to allow an evaluation without the need for the submission of further information. Any questions regarding this Notice shall be in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer, Karen Harper via facsimile at (202) 260-0855 or E-mail at kharper@ibb.gov. The deadline for receipt of questions is January 5, 2006. Interested sources shall ensure that the Government receives their statements of interest by 2:00PM Daylight Savings Time (DST), January 23, 2006. This notice is not a RFP, IFB or RFQ. Numbered Note 22. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (23-DEC-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
