The award will proceed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), which allows sole source procurement when only one responsible source is available to meet agency needs. No solicitation documents are available, and the notice is not a request for quotations. Telecommunications inquiries about the contract will not be entertained. Interested parties capable of meeting the requirement must submit a Capability Statement by 11:00 a.m. MST on December 23, 2009. The designated point of contact for this notice is Jennifer L. Brown, reachable at [phone hidden] or via email at [email hidden]. The contract falls under the NAICS code 334290 and is managed by the Directorate of Contracting at White Sands Missile Range, a Department of Defense office. The sole source award reflects the agency’s intent to procure warranty services exclusively from Calix Networks due to the proprietary nature of the circuit boards involved.
