D -- Notice of Intent to award a sole source modification to the current Command,Control,Communication,Computer (C4) services contract

The 377th Contracting Squadron/LGCM plans to issue a sole source modification to the existing Command, Control, Communication, and Computer (C4) contract, specifically to incorporate the installation of communication duct systems along with fiber and copper cable upgrades. This modification aims to replace or upgrade outdated and saturated communication infrastructure currently deemed unmaintainable. Abacus Technology Inc., the current maintainer of all telephone infrastructure at Kirtland Air Force Base, will be responsible for this additional work, which will integrate into the base’s existing infrastructure. The modification also includes the continued maintenance and removal or upgrading of infrastructure that Abacus currently manages. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids but serves as an opportunity for interested parties to express their interest and capability by the deadline of May 13, 2005. Submissions should be sent to the 377 CONS/LGCM office at Kirtland AFB, NM. Contact persons for inquiries include Mr. Willard Paine, Contract Administrator, and Ms. Sheri Szpunar, Contracting Officer. Absent any responses from other entities, the modification will be awarded directly to Abacus Technology. The contract falls under NAICS Code 517110 and supports the Department of Defense’s communications infrastructure needs at Kirtland Air Force Base.
