This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation Number N00421-99-R-1369 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The incorporated document and provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-11 and DFARS Change Notice 19990325. This action is unrestricted and is not set aside for small businesses. The Government intends to initiate a brand-name mandatory procurement of Motorola MVME Processor Boards. Motorola is the sole qualified supplier of this equipment at the present time. The Motorola MVME Processor Boards are the only boards that meet the requirements for integration with the other systems developed for SSDS. Procuring another brand, make, or type of board would unavoidably cause a change in software configuration of the AN/UPX-36(V) system. Market Research indicates that multiple distributors are capable of providing the Motorola brand-name equipment.
