Purpose of Announcement: In accordance with the FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis of the FAA's decision to contract with a selected source via single source procedures. The FAA, William J. Hughes Technical Center intends to award a single contract to dBSystems Inc., Hurricane, UT to acquire these antennas. As the only source available in which the FAA has already paid for research on these antennas through a grant with Ohio University and therefore cannot be obtained through any other known source, dBSystems Inc., brings the following essential data, experience and capabilities to this program: a. Original manufacturer of the antennas accepted by Ohio University, which meets the required specifications by the Federal Aviation Administration. Consequently, dBSystems Inc., Corporation has the knowledge and capabilities to efficiently support as required by this proposed procurement.
