Primary Crash Alert System Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of the Air Force intends to sole source the acquisition of fiber optic phone/analog extenders from TC Communications for the Primary Crash Alert System at Cannon AFB. The system consists of several parts, including TCRM191R-01-01-PP, TC1901R-L1ST-2-12, and TC1901S-L1ST-2-12. The total estimated value of this acquisition is $24,610.41. • The system must be compatible with PBX and Key System. • It must have voice bandwidth from 300Hz to 3.4Khz for toll quality sound. • It must have a built-in dry contact relay for external alarm and ringer connection. • It must have a 12VDC power supply, with optional 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC, or 115/230VAC with power adapter. • It must have built-in power redundancy. • It must be able to operate over dual fiber. The sole source acquisition is justified because TC Communications is the sole manufacturer of this proprietary system, and purchasing from any other source would result in incompatible parts and prolonged system outage.
