It is essential to purchase only Sony equipment to meet the Government's requirement to replace and update old Sony equipment. Broadcast-journalists only have to learn one system, same source for spare parts and faster support. The equipment will replace the old and worn Sony equipment that is currently being used by the broadcast-journalists. Failure to replace would hinder our broadcast-journalist's ability to support base events and document crime scenes/base exercises. Mission success will take a huge hit and base morale will suffer if we are unable to receive adequate equipment to support base events. The anticipated award date is after 23 September 2016. This is a request for brand name specific competitive quotes and a contract award will be made IAW FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of Quotations or Offers in response to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote received.
