59 -- Purchase of Panel, Electrical

The contract initially sought to procure a front panel for an electrical ballistic computer, specifically an electrical panel with the part number A523A82501, measuring approximately 12 by 18 by 3 inches and weighing between 3 to 5 pounds. The panel was to be newly manufactured metal, with surplus items not acceptable. The requirement included a basic quantity of one panel, with options for an additional 1 to 3 units within the basic year and the following year. Delivery was planned to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, with a scheduled basic delivery date of June 30, 2008, and option quantities and schedules to be determined. The solicitation anticipated a full and open competition, allowing all responsible sources to submit quotes, with technical data provided and solicitation details posted publicly. However, this solicitation and requirement were subsequently canceled, and the item will not be procured at this time. The initial request for quotes and the anticipated award in early 2008 were rendered moot by this cancellation. The government retained possession of all technical documentation, and the procurement process was discontinued without proceeding to contract award or delivery. Point of contact information was provided for further inquiries, but no further procurement action is planned for this item under the current contract.
