70--Intent to Award Sole Source to Ronco Communications & Electronics, Inc, Installation and Configuration of Unique Communications cairs.net Automatic Switch Interface (ASI) and the Installation of the UCID-911 Interface

The 115th Fighter Wing in Madison, Wisconsin plans to issue a sole source contract to Ronco Communications & Electronics, Inc., located in Tonawanda, New York, to provide add-on services for a previously purchased Telecommunications Management System. These additional services include the installation and configuration of the Unique Communications cairs.net Automatic Switch Interface (ASI) and the UCID-911 interface. These interfaces are critical as they integrate the telephone system, cable records database, and E911 systems, ensuring precise building and room location information during emergency 911 calls. Due to the specialized nature of these requirements and the absence of other qualified sources, the contract will be awarded under procedures allowing for non-competitive procurement. The contract is issued under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b), as only one responsible source can fulfill the agency's needs. The government has determined this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, and no telephonic inquiries will be entertained. Interested parties believing they can offer a competitive advantage in future procurements must provide written responses by 1:00 PM on August 28, 2014, via email with confirmation of receipt. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 517911 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s U.S. Property and Fiscal Office for Wisconsin Army National Guard.
