Joint Base Land Mobile RadioTrunking System Upgrade

The 633d Contracting Squadron at Langley Air Force Base plans to issue a solicitation for a Multiple-Site Trunking System to support Joint Base Langley Eustis. This system will be an Internet Protocol (IP) based, narrowband, trunked land mobile radio solution designed to provide critical communications for facility support personnel at Langley AFB, Virginia. The procurement will follow Commercial Items Acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12, with a focus on small businesses, as the acquisition is set aside exclusively for this category under NAICS code 334220, which pertains to radio manufacturing. Notably, the non-manufacturer rule is waived due to a Class Waiver for this NAICS code. The solicitation, identified as FA4800-10-R-0008, is expected to be released around June 1, 2010, and the contract awarded on a firm fixed-price basis to the offeror presenting the best value. Interested contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database to be eligible for award. The contracting office is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the 633d Contracting Squadron, based in Langley AFB, VA. This acquisition updates and corrects earlier information about the NAICS code and is not a request for proposals at this time but a notice of intent to solicit proposals in the near future. Contact information for the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer is provided for further inquiries, emphasizing the importance of compliance with small business participation rules and federal acquisition regulations.
