Interested manufacturers/vendors should understand that any of these items they supply must be form, fit and functional equivalents of and be completely interchangeable with items supplied by MCL, Inc. Manufacturers/vendors not currently qualified as Approved Sources of Supply will also be required to qualify their product(s) via the First Article Test (FAT) requirements stipulated in CECOM Source Control Drawing A3187818 upon contract award. The above items are described in Source Control Drawing A3187818, however, detailed functional and interface requirements for the subassemblies are proprietary to MCL, Inc., and are, therefore, not available. Suppliers interested in providing any or all of the above items must so indicate by writing to Commander, US Army Communications-Electronics Command, Attn: AMSEL-LC-COM-S-TB (Weisbrod/McIntyre), Bldg 1202E Avenue of Memories, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703. The response must include documentation such as test results, copies of purchase orders if the manufacturer/vendor previously produced any of the items for MCL, Inc., or a statement from MCL, Inc., certifying that the manufacturer/vendor can, in fact, produce items which will be physically and functionally interchangeable with items from MCL, Inc. Prospective manufacturers/vendors may be required to warrant that items they supply will perform satisfactorily when used in their intended application by the military. For additional information, contact Michael McIntyre, preferably via email, at Michael.McIntyre@mail1.monmouth.army.mil or phone (732) 532-5083. Responses must be received no later than December 14, 2001.
