Secure Wireless Local Area Network (SWLAN)

The Regional Contracting Office-Southwest at Camp Pendleton, California, plans to award a sole source, firm fixed-price contract to Harris Corporation for the procurement of a Secure Wireless Local Area Network (SWLAN). This acquisition is conducted under the authority of U.S.C. 2304 (1) and FAR 6.302-1, recognizing Harris Corporation as the only approved source for this requirement by the U.S. Marine Corps, as referenced in MARADMIN 290/06. The purchase falls under NAICS code 541330 and Federal Supply Classification 5895. The notice emphasizes that this is not a request for offers but an opportunity for other potential contractors to submit written responses with technical and pricing information to assess the existence of genuine competition; however, the government will not compensate for any submitted information. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense's Commanding General's office in Camp Pendleton. While responses will be fully considered, the final decision on whether to proceed with a competitive procurement lies solely with the government. The contract involves a simplified acquisition process for secure wireless network services, underscoring the importance of this specialized technology and the identification of Harris Corporation as the sole source capable of fulfilling the U.S. Marine Corps’ operational needs.
