D -- D - ATIS

The 3rd Contracting Squadron at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, is seeking to acquire a Digital Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS) through a sole source procurement. This action is justified under statutory authority that allows contracting without competition when only one responsible source is available that can meet agency requirements. The intended awardee is ARINC Engineering Services, LLC, located in Annapolis, Maryland, with the contract planned as a firm fixed-price purchase order. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 541330, related to engineering services. No formal solicitation will be issued as this is not a competitive request; however, other firms that believe they can fulfill the requirement have the opportunity to submit written notifications with adequate evidence within five days from the notice’s publication date. Interested parties must provide supporting documentation demonstrating their capability by the specified deadline of September 19, 2007, at 3:00 p.m. local time. The government retains sole discretion in deciding whether to open the procurement to competition based on any responses received. Contact points for the procurement include Mishell M Sonntog and Contracting Administrator Randal C Kyllo at Elmendorf AFB, who can provide additional information as needed. This procurement is specifically for the delivery and installation of the D-ATIS system to support the base’s operational needs.
