K -- K-Re-engineer of Circuit Boards within the CDWP-SC1000-DGPS

The United States Coast Guard plans to award a sole-source contract to Southern Avionics Company, located in Beaumont, Texas, for the modification and redesign of circuitry on existing DGPS SC1000 Transmitter Boards. Southern Avionics is considered the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement due to the proprietary nature of the embedded firmware involved. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, any interested parties who believe they can meet the requirement are invited to submit a capabilities statement for consideration. The Government will evaluate all responses received by the specified deadline to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, although the final determination remains at the Government’s discretion. All responses must be submitted by 3:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on May 19, 2004, and can be sent via email or fax to the specified contact. The contract falls under NAICS code 811213 and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Headquarters Contract Operations office in Washington, DC. The primary focus is the re-engineering of circuit boards within the CDWP-SC1000-DGPS system, a critical component for the Coast Guard’s Differential Global Positioning System capabilities. This effort ensures continued operational integrity and advancements in navigation technology through trusted and proprietary firmware modifications.
