USCG NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE - AVIAT CARE SUPPORT AND WARRANTY

In accordance with RFO FAR 5.101, this is a notification of a proposed sole-source contract action to Aviat U.S., Inc.  The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to solicit and award on a sole source basis under the authority of RFO FAR 12.102(a) to Aviat U.S., Inc. at 200C Parker Drive, Suite 100A Austin, Texas 78728. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) – only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Aviat Care WarrantyPlus Product provides manufacturer’s authorized (24/7) upper tier web-based and telephonic technical support to Coast Guard field engineers and manufacturer-approved expedited depot-level component repair for two (2) products; Aviat Pro-Vision Network Monitoring System and Fujitsu Flashwave 4100 SONET multiplexers.
