D--DIGITAL TELEPHONE/LINE ANALYZER AND HIGH GAIN ORION

The INSCOM Directorate of Contracting plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Research Electronics, International (REI) for the procurement of two TITAN Telephone and Line Analyzers and six High Gain Orion units. REI is identified as the exclusive developer and U.S. manufacturer and distributor of these products, which justifies the sole source approach. The contract award is anticipated around June 17, 2009. This notice serves to inform interested parties but is not a solicitation or request for proposals. Any responses submitted by June 11, 2009, will be reviewed solely to determine if a competitive procurement should be considered, with the final decision resting solely with the INSCOM Directorate of Contracting. The contract falls under the NAICS code 334511, which relates to the manufacture of electronic products, and is being managed by the W00Y Contracting Office at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. This procurement supports the Department of Defense’s operational needs and includes specific contact information for the contracting officer responsible, Ana D. Wilks, who can be reached via email for further information. The purpose of this acquisition is to equip the agency with specialized electronic analyzers critical to their operations, reflecting a highly specialized market with limited suppliers.
