AFRL requires 3 new Wideband HF RT-2200A Radios. The RT-2200A enables signal processing capabilities and has specific technology at the required Wideband frequency range.
The following items comprise the requirements:
(QTY 3) P/N 822-3228-001, RT-2200A - Wideband HF Radio
Frequency range: HF 3-30 Mhz
Market research was performed, and no suitable alternative was identified. Competitors do exist, but lack the capability for rapid prototyping and proven operational testing at the desired frequencies.
Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirements including costs related to training, installation, software development, engineering, maintenance, and support.
The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Rockwell Collins, 400 Collins Rd NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52498
This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to [email protected]
Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements.
Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 26 September 2016.
