63 -- Notice of Sole Source - Monaco Systems

Maxwell Air Force Base plans to award a sole source contract to Monaco Enterprises located in Spokane, WA, for the provision of replacement parts for the D-21M Fire Management System at Gunter Annex, Alabama. The contract is being awarded under 10 U.S.C. 2304 (C) (1), which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source is capable of satisfying the agency’s needs. The requirement includes a detailed list of specific parts such as the D-21M Central Receiving System Communicator, Communicator Support Kit, Fire Client units, Workstation, Ethernet Switch, serial devices, cable device server, and T1 cable link installation. Quantities range from single units to multiple pieces depending on the item. Interested parties were invited to respond by March 7, 2005, with contact points provided for Bob Key, Contract Specialist, and Eugene Tilghman, Senior Contracting Officer, both based at Maxwell AFB. This contract supports the maintenance and functionality of critical fire management system components under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the 42nd Contracting Squadron. The sole source justification underscores Monaco Enterprises as the only supplier capable of meeting the technical and operational requirements of the D-21M system.
