- The 50th Contracting Squadron at Schriever AFB, Colorado hereby gives notice of its intention to award a sole source purchase order to Quintron for an upgrade to an existing DICES System. In accordance with FAR 6.303 and 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency needs for the purchase of the DICES equipment manufactured by Quintron. DICES is the internal intercom system used to communicate during operations. It provides command and control communications between operators, mission directors and the command staff. This purchase will upgrade a currently installed system with additional communication stations in infrastructure and is critical to mission success as it provides critical communication to control multiple space platforms. This award will be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This announcement constitutes the only notice. The reference number is F3RTCM6111A100. NAICS code for this purchase is 334210. The following clause applies to this acquisition: 5352.201-9101 Ombdusman (Aug 2005) (a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsmen ? Name: Michael D.
