--Negotiation of Sole Source for Electronic Parts and Equipment

The Directorate of Contracting at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Raytheon for the procurement of specific electronic parts, including seven Universal Mounts, seven Power Cables, and seven Power Supplies. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 335999, which pertains to other electrical equipment and component manufacturing, and it is governed by Simplified Acquisition Procedures and procedures for Other Than Full and Open Competition. The contract will be awarded without restrictions, and no formal solicitation will be issued. However, interested firms that believe they can fulfill the requirements have the opportunity to submit a written notification within 14 days of the notice's publication date, including sufficient evidence of their capability. Responses must be submitted by June 7, 2004, at 4:00 p.m. CST, either via email or fax, with instructions explicitly noting that telephone inquiries are not accepted. The government will review any submissions but retains full discretion to proceed with sole source negotiations with Raytheon if no viable responses are received. Points of contact for this procurement include Ms. Regina Harris and Ms. Gertrude Colbert at Fort Campbell, providing specific phone numbers and email addresses for correspondence. This planned contract supports a streamlined procurement method aimed at meeting the agency’s needs efficiently while allowing limited opportunity for other potential suppliers to demonstrate their capabilities.
