58--Continuous lease of land mobile radio system

The contract involves the renewal of a continuous lease for land mobile radio system equipment to support Federal Government operations in Hawaii, covering the period from December 20, 2005, to January 31, 2006. The leasing arrangement is expected to be negotiated as a sole source contract with Information Systems Support, Inc., the incumbent contractor currently providing these services. This approach is authorized under FAR 6.302, allowing the government to solicit and negotiate exclusively with the existing contractor without a competitive bidding process. While this notice is not a formal request for competitive proposals, interested parties are invited to express their interest and capability or submit proposals by December 16, 2005. The government will consider all submissions, but the decision to proceed with a competitive procurement remains at the government's discretion. The contract is managed by the Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor under the Department of Defense, with the lease supporting continuous operational communication needs within the state of Hawaii.
