Digital Radios and Service

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a bureau of the Department of Treasury, intends to issue a sole-source purchase order utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Federal Radio Service Corporation, Aberdeen, MD, for digital radios and associated services to support all National Capitol Region OCC leased space and property. The radios will support day-to-day physical security and emergency management, as well as communication capability during a COOP event. Federal Radio Service currently provides services at the OCC's NW Washington, DC location, and a significant investment has already been made for radios at this site. As the vendor owns, operates and manages the radio frequency issued, the OCC will need to utilize the same frequency and no other vendor, is authorized, by FCC regulation, to use this radio frequency. The requirement consists of a base year and four additional one-year options for continued service. The period of performance for this requirement is date of award through 12 months thereafter. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; a solicitation document will not be issued. All information received within 4 days after the date of this notice with pricing and sufficient technical documentation to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirement will be considered by the OCC. A determination not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the OCC. Information received will be considered primarily for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
