This non-competitive modification will include affiliate broadcast stations in the Western Hemisphere (WHA) and East Asian (EA) regions. The Contractor shall provide preventive and corrective maintenance services on Television Receive Only (TVRO) antennas and ancillary equipment.

The existing competitively bid contract was awarded to Videoenlace, S.A., on Sept. 1, 2000 for maintenance services of IBB earth station equipment at U.S. Embassies and posts in the WHA and EA regions. The Contractor has a staff of trained technicians who are knowledgeable and experienced in performing the repair and maintenance of this equipment. Interested firms may submit their written statement of interest, which shall contain a brief written summary of their specialized technical qualifications and experience to Ms. Barbara Sesky, by facsimile at (202) 260-0855 and received not later than 3:00 p.m., EDT, April 11, 2001.
