99--Virtex-4, FX100

The Army Contracting Command Redstone plans to acquire sixteen Xilinx FPGA components, specifically eight units of the Virtex-4 FX100 model with part number XC4VFX140-10FF1517I and eight units of the Virtex-4 FX100 model with part number XC4VFX100-11FF1152I. These items are to be purchased as incidental supplies under an existing EXPRESS Blanket Purchase Agreement with Aviation & Missile Solutions LLC in Huntsville, Alabama. Because these components are not available through the GSA Schedule, the acquisition is being synopsized according to FAR regulations. This notice serves as an intent announcement rather than a solicitation, and there will be no competitive proposals requested. Interested small businesses have a seven-day window from the notice's publication to submit capability statements and pricing information for government consideration. Responses submitted will assist the government in deciding whether to pursue a competitive procurement; however, any decision not to compete will rest solely with the government. All submissions and inquiries regarding this requirement must be directed in writing either to Mary Montgomery at Aviation & Missile Solutions or to Sylvia Bowar, the Contract Specialist at the Army Contracting Command Redstone. Formal communications are restricted to email and fax, and telephone requests will not be entertained. This procurement opportunity is managed through the Department of Defense at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with strict adherence to stipulated procedural guidelines for vendor engagement.
