Description

The government anticipates award of multiple contracts which will provide the Forest Service and Department of Interior the opportunity to field test one or more automated systems that track government owned and contracted fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft and ground vehicle locations. The GPS located position report will be recorded and transmitted via the vendor provided communication system to a government dispatch center. Rental of the equipment is desired, but sale of the equipment to the Government will be considered. Offers are encouraged from both vendors able to fulfill all contract requirements and from vendors who can provide component parts or services. It is anticipated that delivery of the first units will take place on approximately June 1, 2001. Much of the test will be concluded by approximately September 30, 2001, but may be extended for various reasons, therefore the contract period will be 180 calendar days. Approximate issue date of the solicitation will be April 13, 2001. Solicitation closing date will be approximately April 30, 2001. Request for the solicitation, to include complete mailing information may be faxed to 208/387-5780. (set aside for small business)
