Notice of Intent to Sole Source
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Acquisition Management, on behalf of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The government intends to award a sole-source contract for software services supporting the NTIA Spectrum Analysis and Engineering Division located at 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20230. The contract will consist of a 12-month base period with four one-year options. The applicable NAICS code is 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing). The sole-source authority is based on FAR 6.302-1, citing only one responsible source available to satisfy agency requirements.
Required Services and Software
NTIA's Spectrum Engineering and Analysis Division requires the iQ.link software program, provided by Outdoor Wireless Network, LLC dba Comsearch, to analyze, plan, and maintain a comprehensive database of federal microwave systems operating in the 7125–8500 MHz (7/8 GHz) frequency range. The software utilizes Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Standard 10 methodology for interference analysis and frequency nomination. The software supports efficient spectrum utilization by minimizing interference in congested areas and enabling frequency nominations for new systems. Enhanced frequency assignment capabilities have become increasingly important as federal microwave systems are relocated following spectrum reallocation from the Advanced Wireless Service 3 (AWS-3) auction.
Response Deadline and Award Information
Responses to this notice of intent must be submitted within 15 days from the date of publication and must clearly defend any claims that refute the government's sole-source justification. No solicitation package is available. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, the contract will be issued to Outdoor Wireless Networks LLC dba Comsearch. Questions must be submitted in writing via email to ecrawford@doc.gov.
