Notice of Intent - L3 Technologies, Inc.

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order with L3 Technologies, Inc. (Londonberry, NH) for the purpose of procuring Diopters and repairs and maintenance to the NVGs. The FBI requires replacement parts, repairs and maintenance to maintain its existing NVGs throughout the year in the event any set is damaged or fails to work properly.

Market research for the required maintenance determined L3 Technologies, Inc. is the sole repair/maintenance contractor authorized to work on HRTs NVGs. L3 Technologies, Inc. fabricates all the components of the NVGs in-house and does not contract any repair/warranty work outside of L3 Technologies, Inc. Many of the aspects of the FBI’s existing inventory of NVGs are proprietary, in that L3 Technologies is the only authorized vendor for both repairs/maintenance and replacement parts.
