59 -- Control, Direction

The Department of Defense’s Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) intends to issue a contract for procuring Control, Direction units identified by NSN 5865-01-477-0546EW and P/N 716010-004. The contract will cover a basic quantity of four units, with an option for one to two additional units in subsequent years. This procurement is planned as a restricted competition, limited to a qualified source, specifically EDO Reconnaissance and Surveillance Systems (formerly Condor Systems). Although this notice invites interested parties to express their capability to supply or service the requirement, it is not a formal solicitation for competitive proposals. The government will consider responses received within 45 days of the notice publication, or 30 days if an award is made under an existing basic ordering agreement, to determine whether to pursue competitive procurement. The final decision to compete the contract lies solely within the government’s discretion based on input received, which will primarily help inform the acquisition strategy. Prospective offerors should direct inquiries or express concerns to the designated contracting officer, Wynnette M. Smith, via phone or email. This presolicitation aims to establish communication with potential suppliers prior to formal solicitation, ensuring awareness and readiness aligned with the government's planned acquisition schedule.
