A non-competitive negotiation is proposed to be conducted with Microdyne Corporation, 491 Oak Road, Ocala, FL 34471. Complete hardware compatibility is essential to the functioning and performance of the total enhanced system. The ability to interchange receiver modules with existing receivers is mandatory in the event of a possible failure or a change in user requirements. No other manufacturer can provide these systems due to compatibility issues such as module interfacing, etc. without duplication of costs that would not likely be recovered through open competition. All Responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation NLT 010697 which shall be considered by this agency. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0348)
