58 -- RF-5045 DIGITAL PRE/ POST SELECTORS SOL N00421-97-D-1388 POC Contract Specialist, Susan J. Denham (301) 862-8928 ; Contracting Officer, J. Larry Mattingly (301) 862-8119 E-MAIL: DenhamSJ@navair.navy.mil, DenhamSJ@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code 4.5.8.4, at St. Inigoes, MD has identified a requirement to modify contract N00421-97-D-1388 with Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division, to add estimated quantities of the RF-5045 Digital Pre/Post Selectors to the remaining ordering periods under the subject contract. It is the intent of this office to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The Government currently procures RF-5000 series 125W/400W base station and vehicular transceiver systems and associated components under this contract through the issuance of individual delivery orders. A breakdown of estimated quantities of RF-5045s to be added to the remaining ordering periods under the contract is as follows: Ordering Period Estimated Quantity II 60 III 40 IV 30 V 20 The Harris Corporation RF-5045's are the only high performance digital pre/post selectors designed for operation in rugged, tactical environments as part of the 125W or 400W RF-5000 transceiver systems. The Harris RF-5045 is an ancillary device to the RF-5000, and no other vendor makes the pre/post selector needed to function between Harris RF-5000's. The digital pre-post selectors are required to reduce both unwanted receive signals and spurious transmitter outputs, thus allowing for co-location of two or more RF-5000 systems at the same site. Harris Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer of the RF-5045 as well as the RF-5000 transceiver systems, and has retained the proprietary rights to this equipment. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties may identify their interest and technical capability to respond to this requirement and may submit information, which shall be considered by NAWCAD Contracts, Code 2.5.4.1.1 . It is requested that such responses be submitted to this office no later than 15 days after date of publication of this notice. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses to this synopsis should be sent to the attention of Ms. Susan J. Denham, Code 254113, FAX (301) 862-8670; or to the following E-mail address: DenhamSJ@navair.navy.mil .
