The Naval Supply (NAVSUP) Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), FL intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Mackay Communications, Inc., to procure the KVH V3 HTS Satellite Antennas for Commander, US Naval Forces Southern Command (COMUSNAVSO). COMUSNAVSO current KV3 antennas will reach end of life on December 2021.

The purpose of this proposed contract action is to procure the TracPhone KVH V3 HTS Satellite Communication Antennas and associated peripheral equipment for Commander, US Naval Forces Southern Command (COMUSNAVSO).

The purpose of this amendment is to make the following changes to solicitation N6883621Q0421: 1) Provide Government responses to vendor questions received. 2) Close question submission period. 3) Extend solicitation closing time to Monday, 27 September 2021 at 4:00 P.M. EST. Please see attachment. Product Service Code:- 5985 - ANTENNAS, WAVEGUIDES, AND RELATED EQUIPMENT NAICS Code:- 334220 - Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing Primary point of contact:- DeAundrae Rogers 904-542-1259   deaundrae.l.rogers1@navy.mil Secondary point of contact:-

Question 8: Is the Intelsat Ku-band Epic satellite network the only current service provider? If not, what other satellite operator(s) provide coverage for service? Response: The Ku-band Epic satellite network is the only current service provider for HTS to the Government.

This software resource provides NIEHS scientist with the ability to analyze a wide variety of toxicology data including data generated using high throughput screens (HTS) to achieve its programmatic goals in predictive toxicology.

This type of assay is homogenous which can be miniaturized into 384 well plate format and thus ideally suited for high throughput applications.

The only way to accomplish handling this many well plates for an experiment is high throughput screening (HTS), which requires a high degree of robotic automation. There are heavily used robotic screening systems at NIH/NCATS; the Kalypsys primary screening system and the Tox21 Robot. 

The production of cells in large quantities and in consistent quality is a critical step for the implementation of cell-based high throughput screens (HTS). Current cell production for HTS is done manually, which leads to suboptimal batch-to-batch consistency, is a contamination-prone process, it has limited scalability, and lacks the needed industrial scale reproducibility.
