Action Code: ISO139926713

Date: 5 Apr 2013

Classif Code: R&D

Question: Is this JHU/APL announcement related to the prior Sources Sought of the same title, but numbered ISO129926388?

Response: Yes

Question: This sole source scope to JHU/APL is similar to the sources sought scope which is similar to the CWMD IDIQ scope (HDTRA1-12-R-0016). The JHU/APL scope, however, includes "assessments" which were not a part of the CWMD IDIQ. Can you comment on the scope difference between the JHU/APL effort and the CWMD IDIQ

(for example, when one vehicle would be used versus the other)?

Response: Although the scope of this SOO is similar to the RD CWMD IDIQ, the scale of a DTRA sole source IDIQ contract with JHU/APL UARC will be limited to a 3 year ordering period and a ceiling of $9M. All task orders placed against a DTRA JHU/APL

UARC IDIQ will be documented as falling within one of the three JHU/APL’s UARC core competencies as stated in the Notice of Intent within the authority of 10 U.S.C.
