54--59 - Motorola Radio Equipment - Farmerville, LA

The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) intends to award a non-competitive contract to Motorola for open market items that are an integral part of a recent Federal Supply Schedule order for portable radios. Pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), as implemented by 6.302-1, (a)(2), this requirement is justified and approved. The Government's determination to negotiate this as a non-competitive contract with Motorola is based on a Government mandated schedule for narrowband operations and for standardization of the Service's radio systems. This notice is neither a request for proposal nor a solicitation of offers. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement is solely within its discretion. A contract shall be awarded to Motorola by May 2, 2002. *****
