Intent to Award: Radio Equipment

Federal Business Opportunities: Intention to Sole Source. U.S. Customs and Border Protection intends to award a sole source order for VHF radio repeater equipment under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 6.302.1. This synopsis is being published for informational purposes only. Notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, but we are interested in new innovative equipment in the future. The Spokane Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol has been doing its own research and development, for several years, of a solar powered remote radio repeater system to work in rugged mountain areas and under severe weather conditions. The Daniels specific equipment (P25-MT-4) has proven to be of high performance, ultra low current draw and are the only ones that have been found suitable for a compact solar powered site. This equipment has to be portable enough to be carried into many locations. The completed systems results in a "Green" micro-footprint system and is made "in-house" of various other components besides the Daniels repeater which have been developed by sector personnel and local resources. This acquisition is being procured under FAR part 13 and will result in the issuance of one (1) delivery order in the amount of $67,126.50 under GSA contract GS: 35F 0420K
