CONTRACTING OFFICER'S
DETERMINATION AND FINDINGS
The Central Intelligence Agency proposes to enter into a
contract with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Baltimore,
Maryland, for certain radar equipment and related items necessary
for support of field operations.
I hereby find that this procurement, Project EQTTINE, is
estimated to cost $1,080,455.00, is chargeable to Fiscal Year 1956
funds, Appropriation No. 11x2150; and is for development of highly
technical equipment essential to an experimental, developmental and
research program presently under procurement and which will result
in operational activities. I also find that this procurement is in
the interest of national defense and that it has been certified by
the Director of Central Intelligence under date of 29 July 1955, to
be for objects of a confidential, extraordinary and emergency nature
and therefore is within the purview of the procurement authority of
the Agency as stated in Section 10(b) of Public Law 110, 81st Congress.
Procurement by formal advertising of the work and services called for
by the proposed contract, No. FL-3011, would result in public dis-
closure of the nature and character of the equipment as well as its
intended use and would thereby jeopardize the security classification
of this project.
I hereby determine, as Contracting Officer for this contract,
that the necessity and authority for negotiation of this contract
have been adequately documented by proper Agency authority, and that
the proposed contract must necessarily be negotiated without formal
advertising.
