Description

The U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) -- Natick located in Natick, MA 01760 intends to award a purchase order to Cingular Wireless on a basis of other than full and open competition (reference FAR Subpart 6.302-1) for a one (1) year service contract for fifty-seven (57) separate cellular phones used by SBCCOM-Natick personnel. Cellular phone services, though commercial services, are provided by only a limited number of responsible sources. Cingular Wireless currently services these phones for SBCCOM-Natick. It is anticipated that a competitive acquisition for these services would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the government and an unacceptable delay in fulfilling SBCCOM-Natick's cellular requirements needed at this time. No quotation document is available for this acquisition. Inquiries shall be made no later than five (5) days after the printed issue date of this notice. Reference note 22; as this is a commercial service, all responses shall be received within five (5) days after publication of this notice.
