58 -- Vehicle Adapter Kit

The 15th Contracting Squadron at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii plans to award a sole source purchase order to Raytheon for Vehicle Adapter Kits, part number 902800-802. These kits consist of several components including an omnidirectional antenna, speaker and cable kit, hardware installation kit, battery eliminator, universal tray, and an RF cable assembly. The contracting squadron believes that Raytheon is the only qualified source capable of meeting the specific requirements for this procurement. Although this is not a solicitation or request for quotation, other interested parties who believe they can fulfill the requirement are invited to submit a quote. Interested sources must send their responses by 9:00 AM local Hawaii time on September 30, 2007, to Kim Johnson, the contract specialist. The government will review all submitted responses but retains the sole discretion to not proceed with any alternative offers. Should no viable competing quotes be received by the deadline, the purchase order will be awarded directly to Raytheon. The contract relates to NAICS code 423120, which covers wholesale trade of durable goods. The main point of contact for this procurement is Angela C. Czumalowski, whose contact details are provided for further inquiries. The overall procedure emphasizes the government's intent to streamline acquisition with a trusted source while still allowing for competitive input from other capable suppliers before finalizing the purchase order.
