This acquisition is being conducted under authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) ''Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.'' Interested parties who can provide a KG-194 COMSEC device FPA with redundant power supply are requested to respond in writing to the Contracting Officer within 45 days of publication of this notice. Written responses must contain price information and specifications for the KG-194 compatible TEMPEST FPA device offered and detailed documentation to establish a bonafide capability to meet the stated requirement. No solicitation document exists. Therefore, requests for such documents will be considered invalid responses. The Government shall be the sole determiner of its minimum needs. All responsible sources may submit a response which will be considered by the agency. If no affirmative written responses to this notice are received, negotiations will be conducted with Pulse, Engineering, Inc. A determination by the government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Specifications and engineering drawings are not available for this device. A substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture is required to make this device.
