42--TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AND NEW ALTERNATE D-21 SYSTEM

The contract involves a sole source purchase order for Technology Upgrades and a New Alternate D-21 system, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures due to the proprietary nature of the requirement. Monaco Enterprises Inc is the sole qualified supplier identified for this acquisition, as no other vendors are capable of meeting the specialized needs of the Government. The procurement will be awarded without full and open competition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, emphasizing the unique qualifications of the supplier. This notice is not a solicitation for offers but serves to inform interested parties, with any government decision to compete in the future remaining at the Government’s discretion. The Department of Defense, specifically the W390 Mcalester Army Ammo Plant in McAlester, Oklahoma, will administer the contract under the NAICS code 334290, which pertains to electronic component manufacturing. The purpose is to acquire technological enhancements and alternatives for the D-21 system, with communication directed to the point of contact, Mrs. Darla A. Lott. Responses to this notice will primarily help the government determine if future competitive procurements might be warranted. The contract was initially posted in July 2014 and reflects a strategic, non-competitive procurement approach to meet critical and proprietary operational requirements.
