--NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE - Maintenance and Emergency Repairs of the M/A-COM Trunked Radio System and All Components

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity plans to award a sole source purchase order to Superior Communications, Inc., located in Rockville, Maryland, for a one-year contract to provide maintenance and emergency repair services for the M/A-COM trunked radio system and all associated components. This contract will be executed without a formal solicitation, and the government is inviting any other capable firms to submit written notifications within ten calendar days from the notice date, providing detailed evidence of their ability to perform these services. These submissions must be sent directly to the designated Contracting Officer at USAMRAA, with no telephone inquiries accepted. Responses to this notice will be carefully evaluated; however, the Government reserves the right to proceed with the sole source award based on these responses or the absence thereof. If no other interested parties submit a response within the specified timeframe, the contract will be awarded to Superior Communications, Inc. The contract falls under NAICS code 811213, which relates to communication equipment repair and maintenance. This approach ensures continuity in maintaining critical communication infrastructure without delay, while also upholding a fair invitation process for potential competitors.
