The frequency used for the Antenna kits on both the vehicle DATA upgrade and the DATA & COFDM video extended range kit will be 2.4 GHz." This purchase will be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized IAW 41 U.S.C. 253(c) and 10 U.S.C 2304(c) FAR13.106-1(b).
