58--Digital Intercom System

The Mission & Installation Contracting Command at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, plans to award a sole source contract to Vitec Group Communications LLC for the purchase of a comprehensive digital intercom system and related equipment. The contract includes a 64-port intercom chassis, software, custom Eclipse intercom stations, specialized double-muff headsets, an 8-port fiber interface with connectors, spare processor and power supply cards, two-way radios, and compatible desktop mounting kits designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Clear-Com equipment at White Sands. Vitec is the sole proprietary owner and developer of the digital intercom system and software, making it cost-prohibitive for the government to engage another vendor to replicate or redesign the system due to the exclusive rights and original manufacturing specifications held by Vitec. This procurement is executed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing for a sole source award, and is not a request for quotations. Interested parties were instructed to respond by noon Mountain Daylight Time on April 16, 2009, to the designated point of contact, Monica Barrera, via fax or email. The contract references solicitation number W9124Q-09-INTERCOM and falls under NAICS code 334290, associated with industry classifications pertinent to communications equipment manufacturing. The contracting agency is part of the Department of Defense, specifically the White Sands Missile Range office.
