- Description
- The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office intends to solicit on an other than full and open competition basis a requirement to acquire OPN-Signal chain front end for the 20M telescope at Kokee Park Geophysical Observatory and matching playback for the Washington Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Correlator Center. This procurement is being processed through other than full and open competition pursuant to the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

MIT Haystack Observatory is the only known vendor that can provide the required the highly specialized skill sets, expertise, and experience needed to support this activity. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by the specified response date. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider information received by the specified response date. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government.
