This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This requirement is being awarded to RA because the switch matrix is integral to an existing system, which ensures seamless integration, and would require exorbitant non-recurring engineering, testing, and time in order to replace, if even possible.
