58 -- SOUTHCOM COUNTERDRUG SUPPORT SOL F19628-96-R-0060 POC Themoula T. Poirier, Contracting Officer, 617-377-9457. The Government intends to award a sole-source contract to Northrop Grumman Corporation (P.O. Box 17320, Baltimore, MD 21203) under the SOUTHCOM Counterdrug Support program. The contract will provide refurbishment of Government-owned AN/TPS-70 radars which will be installed at the new radar sites. The radar refurbishment will include repair and/or replacement of all equipment necessary to make the radar fully operational within specification guidelines. As a minimum, the following services will be provided: mechanical/electrical inspection, major overhaul of electro-mechanical components, replacement of ''fixed'' support equipment with mobile equipment, to include: pallet, air conditioners, heat exchanger, air compressor, radios, legs, and modems, test, and paint/repack. The Government does not own reprocurement data for the radars, as the radars are a Northrop Grumman Corporation off-the-shelf product. It is considered that only Northrop Grumman Corporation has the requisite AN/TPS-70 technical and management expertise to accomplish this effort within the current schedule and budget constraints. Statutory authority for award of this contract is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, ''Only One Responsible Source.'' However, if your firm believes it could accomplish this effort in the required schedule, submit a qualification package not to exceed 10 pages explaining your capabilities. Submit the package to the above address not later than 15 days after publication of this notice. The Government anticipates award of the contract on or about 6 August 1996.
