70--extended warranty on Calix equipment

The Department of Defense at White Sands Missile Range plans to award a sole source contract to Calix Networks Inc. for the purchase of an extended warranty on 200 Calix communication cards used with Calix C7 equipment. Calix Networks, located in Petaluma, California, is the only authorized supplier due to proprietary rights on the necessary components and services required to maintain compatibility with the existing equipment in use at the facility. This contract is being executed under the authority that allows for sole sourcing when only one responsible source exists, thereby excluding full and open competition. The warranty extension is critical to ensuring the continued operation and maintenance of the Calix system at White Sands Missile Range. This action is not a solicitation or request for quotations, and no competitive bidding will be conducted. Interested parties wishing to express any interest must respond by a specified deadline. The procurement follows NAICS code 334290 and is managed under the W9124Q-10CALIXELECBDS solicitation number. The key point of contact for this procurement is Bernadette Quevedo, who may be reached by facsimile or email for any communications before the stated deadline.
