59 -- Purchase of Panel, Electrical

This contract involved the procurement of an electrical panel, specifically identified by NSN 5975-01-504-4556 and part number A523A701-03, with estimated dimensions of 12" by 18" by 3" and weighing approximately 3 pounds. The panel was to be constructed from metal and required to be newly manufactured, as surplus materials were not acceptable. The purchase included a basic quantity of one unit with production options allowing for one to three units within the basic year and the following out year. Delivery was scheduled to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia by June 30, 2008. The solicitation process was set to be open to all responsible sources with a full and open competition, and the government retained possession of the technical data package needed for the procurement. However, the solicitation and requirement were subsequently canceled, and the item will not be procured at this time. Prior to cancellation, the request for quotes was expected to be released in late November 2007 with a response deadline by late December 2007, and the anticipated award date was mid-January 2008. The contracting office maintained points of contact for the procurement process, but no further action on the contract proceeded following the cancellation notice.
