- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE - THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD CONTRACT TO MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS TO PROVIDE A MOTOROLA SYSTEM UPGRADE AGREEMENT(SUA II) FOR THE EXISTING RESCUE 21 ALASKA MCC 7500 DISPATCH CONSOLE SYSTEM. The United States Coast Guard announces its intent to enter into a contract on a sole-source basis with Motorola Solutions, Inc. under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1): Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The anticipated period of performance will be a two year base period with eight (8) twelve (12) month option periods. The anticipated award to Motorola Solutions, Inc. is to procure a Motorola System Upgrade Agreement (SUA II) which constitutes an estimated 10-year subscription service to provide complete system version upgrades and other hardware/software tech refresh to the existing Rescue 21 Alaska MCC 7500 Dispatch Console System. The SUA is a complete package of hardware, software, and implementation services required to update the Coast Guard's existing MCC 7500/ASTRO25 system to future system releases. Motorola MCC7500 system release software is proprietary in nature and Motorola maintains a lab at their Schaumburg, IL facility to test and vet both hardware and software upgrades to ensure complete system functionality once updates are delivered. The Coast Guard's MCC 7500 system requires utilization of fully vetted components and software updates to ensure 100 percent interoperability and functionality of the system. Future system upgrades are necessary to support essential search and rescue radio communications throughout the state of Alaska. The United States Coast Guard is aware of no organization, other than Motorola Solutions, Inc. that can provide the proprietary service (hardware and software) upgrades for the Rescue 21 Alaska Motorola MCC 7500/Astro 25 Dispatch Console System described above. However, any organization (other than Motorola) who believes that it is capable of providing an equivalent service for this specific console system shall e-mail a capability statement to Kristina.A.Morris@uscg.mil and Mari.K.Meiners@uscg.mil no later than 4:00 PM EST November 4, 2014. Respondents are advised that the United States (U.S) Government will not pay for any information or administrative cost incurred in response to this notice. All costs associated with responding to this notice will be solely at the responding party's expense. This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals or quotations. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether conducting a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. For specific questions, please contact Kristina.A.Morris@uscg.mil or Mari.K.Meiners@uscg.mil.
