Description

The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) intends to issue a one-year, with 2 six-month options, sole source extensions to contract DCA200-91-D-0020. This contract is for an International Maritime Satellite service that provides full duplex analog voice and data service globally on a ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore basis. The services are currently being satisfied through an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract. The contractor is COMSAT Mobile Communications, 6560 Rock Springs Drive, Bethesda, MD 30817. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The Government intends to satisfy the requirement through a sole source contract action with COMSAT. This sole source extension provides sufficient time for a small business set-aside to be awarded, as stated in the 17 April 2001 CBD announcement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 45 days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
