This action is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and is not an open competitive solicitation but rather published solely to support subcontracting opportunities. The contract is managed by the W4GG Headquarters, US Army Tacom, based out of the Detroit Arsenal in Michigan. The notice outlines that the solicitation number is DAAE2002DXXXX, with the initial posting date in December 2008. While no specific North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code or set-aside information is provided, the contract emphasizes a focused procurement approach due to the specialized nature of the system components. Interested parties should note that this notice is a formal announcement of the Government's intent and does not request competitive proposals at this time.
