58 -- LINE TERMINATION UNIT MODIFICATION KIT AND T1 CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLIES SOL DAAB07-97-Q-F530 DUE 010397 POC Tom Taylor, 908/532-4991, AMSEL-ACCB-A-BD, Contracting Officer, Kenneth Tedeschi, 908/532-4809 E-MAIL: CECOM Acquisition Center, defazioj@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. The CECOM Acquisition Center contemplates noncompetitive negotiations with the Communication Systems Division of GTE Government Systems Corp., Taunton, MA, for installation of a modification kit and two T1 circuit card assemblies in a Government furnished Line Termination Unit (LTU), to provide T1/E1 interface capability. After modification, the LTU is to be shipped to CENTCOM in Saudi Arabia for use to provide communication connectivity between an AN/TTC-39A(V)4 switch and the Saudi Arabian commercial telephone system, through an IDNX multiplexer. The Government is to have an option for installation of a modification kit and T1 circuit cards in a second LTU. Noncompetitive negotiations with the Communication Systems Division of GTE Government Systems Corp. are contemplated for this requirement, because the Government does not possess complete technical data for the LTU modification kit and T1 card and GTE is the only known source for these items. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, however, which shall be considered by the agency. Use of simplified acquisition procedures is anticipated. GTE will be requested to provide a written quotation, and it is expected that a purchase order will be issued on or about 15 January 1997. See Note 22. (0347)
