A -- UHF 3 CHANNEL MULTICOUPLER WITH SATCOM POC Carmel M Costa, Contract Specialist, AMSEL-AC-CC-RT-N, 732/532-3570; Contracting Officer, Virginia Knight, 732/532-4348 WEB: Solicitation No. DAAB07-00-R-K567, http: abop.monmouth.army.mil. E-MAIL: knightv@mail1.monmouth.army.mil, costac@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. US Army Communications-Electronic Command (CECOM) Acquisition Center intends to award a sole source modification to existing Contract DAAB07-99-C-K511. The contract modification will enable the multicoupler to filter a SATCOM radio signal in addition to the base requirements. The current design is limited to a configuration of one EPLRS with the NTDR and/or AN/ARC-164. A modification to include an additional channel for a SATCOM device would increase the number of platform applications. Xetron is scheduled to deliver the UHF Multicoupler prototype in March 2000. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Only One Responsible Source, Xetron, under authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(b)(1). It is not feasible that another contractor, other than Xetron Corporation, can adequately perform the required architectural modification within the timeframe to support Early User Tests. No solicitation will be forthcoming. A determination not to compete this contract action, based upon responses to this notice, is solely with the discretion of the Government. SEE NUMBERED Note 22.
