This is a proposed modification to a current contract. These systems are to be used to upgrade the communications capabilities of specially configured P-3 aircraft. The systems being acquired include RF Products P/N 800225, UHF Switched Output Multicoupler; P/N 800424, RF Distribution Assembly; and P/N 800A20, Frequency Processing Group. The Government does not own data, drawings or other specifications to permit full and open competition. The RF Products items are the only known existing in-production systems risk approach based on proven components requiring little integration.

A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. (0098)
