N -- DIGITAL RADIO UPGRADE

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Office of Facilities Management intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Superior Communications, Inc. for upgrading the existing analog radio systems to a new digital system at the DLA Headquarters Complex and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. This upgrade will enable long-distance transmissions and aligns with installations at other military locations, ensuring improved communication capabilities. Superior Communications, being the sole authorized reseller of the necessary equipment, is uniquely qualified to provide both the equipment and installation services. The contract falls under the NAICS code 425120 and was publicly announced on August 31, 2005, as a notice of intent rather than a solicitation open for competitive bids. The notice clarifies that no award will be made based on responses to the advertisement. For further inquiries, the DLA has designated Ms. Frankie Murphy as the point of contact. The effort underscores the critical nature of modernizing communication infrastructure within these defense agencies to maintain operational efficiency and connectivity.
