This is an amendment to a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as originally published in the Commerce Business Daily on 7 Sep 00 and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The Government anticipates award of a requirements contract for a twelve month base period and four- (4) twelve-month option periods. Anticipated base period of performance is 1 Oct 00 -- 30 Sep 01.

The Contractor shall provide analog, digital and PCS cellular telephone requirements for organizations located at Ft. Campbell, KY, to include roaming CONUS-wide. Current requirements are four hundred eight (408) lines of analog or analog/digital service. The Government's objective is to acquire competitive, commercial, cellular telephone services and to provide our telephone users with capabilities that are needed to perform the unit's mission, at an affordable and reasonable price.
