- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. AFRL requires an AMARI User Equipment (UE) Simbox. The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with:��� � � � � � � �Valid8.com, Inc. ����������� 599 North Ave, STE 8-8 ����������� Wakefield, Massachusetts 01880 The Government has determined that no other source has commercial offerings that can meet this requirement. The Government requires AMARI UE Simbox E 128 hardware and software package, accessories, and installation/configuration/technical support.� Amari is the only source that manufactures the required configuration of 5G Simulated User Equipment (UE) hardware and software.� An existing 5G basestation system is currently in use at AFRL and would be compatible with the 5G UE Simulation that this package provides.� It is imperative to purchase this Amari hardware and software to preserve the compatibility with existing hardware systems.� Procuring hardware and software units from a different manufacturer would cause incompatibilities and render the previous Government investment obsolete.Valid8 is the designated United States representative for Amari and is the only known source that can provide this specific hardware in the United States. Under the contemplated contract, Valid8 will provide the following supplies and services: UE Simbox E 128 Hardware and Software system: Intel i9-based PC 2x AMARI PCIe SDR 100 4x4 cards AMARI UE software with license for 128 UE�s Technical support for 1 year including software updates 1 year warranty for hardware This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Ashley.Ellinger@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 29 April 2022. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
