The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Computing Devices Canada for eleven (11) sets of Communications Distribution System (CDS) equipment, commercially known as MESHnet. Computing Devices is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and owns all related proprietary data and drawings. Each set will consist of Network Access Units (NAU), User Control Devices (UCD), UCD Distribution Boxes (UDB), SINCGARS Control Devices (SCD), KY-58 Interface Boxes (KIB-1), KY-99 Interface Boxes (KIB-2), and headsets. The equipment will be employed in the AN/UYQ-3A Airborne-Mobile Direct Air Support Central (Airborne DASC).
