58--The purpose of this amendment is to reflect Note 22 referenced below that was inadvertently not entered in the original / previous Feb 1, 2005 synopsis for solicitation number W15P7T05RS203 for Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) Spares.

This contract action, identified by solicitation number W15P7T-05-R-S203, is for the procurement of Thermal Weapon Sight spares. Issued by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-Apg office in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, the action is intended as a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 6.302. This specific notice serves as an amendment to a previous synopsis from February 1, 2005, to ensure the inclusion of necessary regulatory notes regarding the solicitation process. While the government intends to negotiate with only one source, interested parties may submit proposals or identify their capabilities to respond to the requirement. The government will consider all proposals received within forty-five days of publication, or thirty days if an existing basic ordering agreement is in place. The final decision to either proceed with a sole source award or move toward a competitive procurement remains at the sole discretion of the government.
