20 -- Buoy Enhancement Package for Diego Garcia

The contract modification to N00033-01-P-9062 involves the sole source procurement of supplies from Vega Industries of New Zealand for the Department of Defense, specifically under the Military Sealift Command. The contract includes the provision, installation, and maintenance of two LED beacons and two remote monitoring Outstations equipped with Global Positioning receivers. These components will be integrated into the existing Sector Range Light system that marks the entrance to Diego Garcia Harbour. The performance of this contract will occur outside the United States, reflecting the specialized nature and location of the work. This procurement is designated as sole source because Vega Industries is the Original Equipment Manufacturer responsible for designing, fabricating, and installing the current Sector Range Light and Vega Tel Base Station systems. Interested parties had the opportunity to express their interest or submit proposals by December 12, 2003. The contract supports enhancements to navigational aids in Diego Garcia, ensuring improved monitoring and operational capabilities at this strategic harbor location. The contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, under the Military Sealift Command.
