This Notice of Intent is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation. However, all quotes received will be considered by the Government. All interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide timely and effective Maintenance Renewal Licenses for IXIA software, hardware, and operating system support. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

If no affirmative written response is received within three (3) days after publication of this notice, a sole-source contract to IXIA, Inc. will be issued.
