99 -- Sole Source Notice

Notice of Intent to award a Sole Source Procurement. The Government intends to issue a sole source purchase order for Quintron Systems, Inc. Hardware including associated peripherals. The Quintron DICES IV system needs to be maintained in order for it to keep supporting USSTRATCOM Global Operations Center. The 55th Contracting Squadron intends to award a purchase order by other than full and open competition in accordance with Subpart 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement was made because Quintron Systems, Inc. is the manufacturer of the equipment and is currently the only known authorized company to distribute their products. The procurement of this hardware and software must be completed in a timely manner in order to meet mission requirements. Questions should be directed to SrA Jeremiah E. Keenan in writing via email to: [email protected] or via facsimile at (402) 294-7280 No later than 12:00 noon CST on 1 June 2007.
