58 -- Receiver Transmitter-MIDS

This contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement for the procurement of twelve Receiver-Transmitter units (P/N P600A075) specifically for the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS). The delivery is scheduled within six months after receipt of the order. The units are to be shipped in portions to three locations: three units to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, four units to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, and five units to a location yet to be determined. The purchasing entity has designated Data Link Solutions, identified by CAGE code 081U3, as the sole source for these supplies under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which permits contracting with a single responsible source due to the uniqueness of the product and lack of acceptable alternatives. The solicitation was issued electronically with an anticipated award date of August 30, 2007, emphasizing that only the approved source—Data Link Solutions—may respond. The contract falls under NAICS code 334511, covering electronic instrument manufacturing. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Nola B. Galloway, reachable via email or phone at Robins Air Force Base. This arrangement ensures the delivery of specific, mission-critical equipment aligned with the agency’s operational requirements, underscoring the limited availability of these items outside of the designated supplier.
