Notice of Intent to Sole Source Unitron Frequency Converter Upgrade

Under authority of 10 USC 2304 (c)(1), the Department of the Air Force, Air Mobility Command Specialized Contracting Branch (HQ AMC/A7KQ) intends to issue a sole source award to Unitron, LP. The services to be provided include all parts and labor to upgrade the existing 336 Unitron frequency converter duplex modules from Unitron part number 80-18030-1, to the upgraded duplex modules, Unitron part number 80-18043-1. Based on proprietary rights and the fact that the frequency converters will lose their Airworthiness Safe-To-Fly Certification should any other company perform the upgrade, Unitron, LP is the only source that can meet this requirement. The resultant contract will be a Firm Fixed Price contract with a one-year period of performance. The redacted sole source J&A is attached. The Government plans to solicit and make an award for this requirement to only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 10 USC 2304 (c)(1). This is not a request for competitive proposals. Responses received in relation to this notice will be reviewed; however, ultimate determination regarding this sole source procurement rests with the Contracting Officer. Responses must be received by 30 July 2013 at 12:00 PM CST. Information regarding this notice may be requested from the Contracting Officer, Katie Hoffmann, via e-mail [email protected].
