The notice is for a modification to an existing contract for enhanced mobile satellite services (EMSS) equipment, specifically adding brand-name Distributed Tactical Communications System (DTCS) radio support equipment. The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The justification for using other than full and open competition is due to the proprietary nature of the L3Harris DTCS ROX radios and accessories, which are essential for secure communication. The government will continue to monitor the market for potential competition. The ceiling value of the overarching IDIQ will not be increased. The contracting officer will determine whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable prior to issuing the modification.
The bid notice states that l3harris does not permit the use of aftermarket products without voiding the warranty on the rox radios.
