Winn, Contracting Officer (508) 233 4125 E-MAIL: The points of contact, Jeff Baldwin and Michael Winn,, jbaldwin@natick-amed02.army.mil or mwinn@natick-notes02.army.mil. SOLE SOURCE: The U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) propose to award a sole source modification under an existing contract to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for fifty (50) additional phone-type handsets capable of visual browsing and voice activation of World Wide Web (WWW) data utilizing a low power microdisplay viewer integrated with a wireless internet radio frequency (RF) infrastructure. These handsets were developed under an existing contract with MIT, which was awarded under an Army Broad Agency Announcement. No other handset of comparable capability is known by the Army to exist. The combination of these two facts means that only MIT is capable of meeting the Army/DARPA requirement. This acquisition is time-sensitive. Responses to this announcement should be addressed, in writing, to either of the points of contact shown above. Information received prior to 01 March 1999 will be considered.
