NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)/Defense Information Technology Contracting

Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Synergetic Information Systems, Inc. (Synergetic) for Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) Mission Support Office

(MSO) Application Services and Ancillary Support.

A sole source Justification & Approval (J&A) document has been completed and approved in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. A copy of the redacted J&A will be posted on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR 6.305.

The proposed contract action is for the procurement of services to provide direct support for programs and projects within the DISA Transport Program Executive Office Transport Services

Directorate (IE) that reflect on real time global enterprise network service capabilities to

Department of Defense (DoD) agencies and military departments. The Government has a need for services which support DoD Information Technology (IT) policy analysis and development;

IT product support and costing; tracking of customer and DISN IT network projects; customer meeting support; developing recommendations and processes in support of DISN policies and processes; conducting analyses of Requests for Change; Enterprise Architecture (EA) acquisition planning and strategies; budget and exhibit development; quality assurance; IT issue papers and white papers; and EA business case and cost benefit analyses.

As a result of a protest received for the award of Transport Services Strategic Advisory Support

(TSSAS), relevant tasks from this requirement need to be extended. This proposed bridge contract action will extend current support for the DISN MSO Support requirement to allow time for the Government Accountability Office to make a determination on the protest and to allow transition to the TSSAS new contract/order without a loss or delay of support ensuring the continuity of mission critical DISN MSO support services to DISA and the DoD community.

At this time, the incumbent contractor, Synergetic, is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement within the necessary time frame and without risk of a substantial break in service/support to DISA and its mission partners. Synergetic is uniquely postured to support the current DISN MSO Application Services and Ancillary Support task order without a significant duplication of cost or delays in support while the follow-on is awarded and transitioned.

Synergetic understands the requirements and currently possess the requisite expertise and relevant experience. The support requires meticulous and highly technical skillsets which are not readily available in the marketplace in the timeframe necessary.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies who believe they can provide this service must indicate their interest in writing within 15 days of this notification and include a detailed capability statement. No reimbursement for any cost connected with providing capability information will be provided. All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the determination to issue a sole-source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a request for proposal. A solicitation will NOT be posted to SAM.gov due to the sole source nature of the requirement.

The North American Classification System (NAICS) code 541512 will be used for determining company size status.
