    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking to procure and install a Zenith Panel and Fall Arrest System for the AN/FPS-124 Short Range Radar located at the Lab-4 site in Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This urgent requirement arises from the current Zenith Panel's non-compliance with approved design specifications, posing safety risks to personnel at the site. The Government intends to award a single-source contract to Infinite Technologies RCS Inc. (ITI), the sole provider capable of meeting the necessary specifications, which includes the procurement of various components and installation services. Interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals for consideration, with inquiries directed to Christopher Jarman at christopher.jarman@us.af.mil or Cameron Tucker at cameron.tucker.6@us.af.mil.
