- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Supbart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The National Guard Bureau intends to solicit "sole source" conversions and upgrades on equipment for the National Guard Bureau Wulfsberg FLEXCOM Series Radio Communication Systems. 1) Description: ARNG-AV has fielded the Wulfsberg RT-5000 AM/FM Multi-band Transceiver Radio Communication system on multiple OH-58 Kiowa and UH-60 Blackhawk, CH-47 Chinook and UH-72 Lakota (LUH) Helicopters and Fixed Wing aircraft. This radio communication system takes the place of six normal transceivers covering multiple MHz frequency bands with multiple channels. A second receiver called a "guard" may or may not be part of the system which allows monitoring of an additional frequency. This receiver can be a single channel crystal-controlled or a fully MHz synthesized version. The RT-5000 is controlled by the C-5000 control head via a Wulfsberg proprietary serial tuning bus that reduces wiring complexity and installation. Wulfsberg antennas support the complete range of frequencies of the RT-5000 in one system, and are a subcomponent of the entire system. Wulfsberg is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). 2) Description of Requirement: ARNG has a requirement for a "sole source" solicitation to Wulfsberg Electronics, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to obtain conversion and upgrade in lieu of a new purchase of 100 Wulsfberg FLEXCOM Communication Radio Systems installed on ARNG aircraft during normal service interval. This capability will include upgrades and technical support to include the latest technology modifications when applicable and will bring the fleet to modernized communication capability at a cost savings against new purchase. The objective is to sustain operational readiness by providing a maintenance repair, system upgrades, and technical support capability to all ARNG units that have within their assigned equipment inventory, Wulfsberg Avionics Radio Communication Systems. 3) Authority Cited: Requirement for justification of this sole source action is the following: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements [FAR 6.302-1(b)(2)]. Respectively, when the work provided for in the contract is a continuation of the work performed by the specified entity under a preceding contract [FAR 6.302-5(c)(1)(iii)(A)]. Wulsberg Electronics is the owner equipment manufacturer, the sole proprietor, and the only company authorized to repair their own equipment. The only source authorized by Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) to provide service, repair, upgrade for Wulfsberg system on ARNG aircraft. 4) Point of Contact: Ms. Chelsea Mazzella (contractor), Chelsea.mazzella@us.army.mil, 703-607-2172. 5) Place of Performance: CONUS
