Add Messaging Capabilities to Alerting System

The 159th Fighter Wing intends to award a sole source procurement to Tomba Communications, 2000 718 Barataria Blvd, Marrero, LA 70072. The award will be made to add messaging capabilities to the 159th Fighter Wing Pilot Alerting System. The upgrade will provide unique voice messaging for four conditions that are being controlled at the base. This procurement is being made pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) 1 and FAR Part 6.302-1, for other than full and open competition; only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Tomba Communications is the manufacturer of the existing control system and is the only known source which can install proper upgrades. An upgrade is less expensive and more advantageous to the government. All qualified sources must respond not later than 24 September 2010, 1100 hours CST. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses should be emailed to Capt Latasha M. Goines, [email protected].
