The order involves one iRobot Packbot Scout with training and support.

IROBOT was the winning SUGV contractor under the FCS program, therefore IROBOT is the only responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy our requirement. Any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 5 days from the date of publication of this announcement. Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements, yet must be limited to 2 pages. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, NCD will proceed with awarding a firm fixed price purchase order toiRobot. Nothing herein should be misconstrued as a request for proposal. No solicitation document is available. Any Questions concerning this acquisition may be addressed to the above address, Attention: Mr. Nathan Jordan or by email to: Nathan.C.Jordan@us.army.mil. This synopsis expires August 13th, 2008 at 12:00pm.
