- Description
- In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, NTIA intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specification development organization for membership participation. ATIS 3GPP produces globally applicable Technical Specifications and Technical Reports for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based on evolved GSM core networks and the radio access technologies that they support (i.e., Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes). This also includes the maintenance and development of the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) Technical Specifications and Technical Reports including evolved radio access technologies (e.g. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE)). Market research demonstrates ATIS 3GPP is the only provider of this membership type. The delivery period will be for an eight (8) month period (05/01/2013 - 12/31/2013). This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotations; however, any challenges to this sole source must be received in writing and sent to alicia.henson@nist.gov to be considered by the Government for the purpose of determining whether or not to compete the requirement. Challenges must include information sufficient to enable the Government to make a determination that an equivalent service exists which would meet the Government's needs as stated herein. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
