Description:

Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) intends to negotiate and award a sole-source contract to Power Ten, Inc. in Kirkland, Washington for Analysis of the Second Generation Dashboard (D2) prototype to meet DOD Risk Management Framework Certification and Accreditation requirements and analysis of architecture required to support Marine Corps Enterprise Network-S applications. The proposed contract action is to procure services to support the continued development and refinement of the D2 technology. It also encompasses evaluation of the D2 security architecture for security certification and accreditation process compliance. The building and refinement of the Command Tools application will include the following enhancements: 1) Display Keyhole Markup Language (KML) geographic information files on the display map (network and static); 2) Build, stack, and apply templates upon an operation’s creation; and 3) Create Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the upload and management of KML files such as Google Earth.

Power Ten, Inc. is the sole designer, developer and producer of the D2 prototype system and the requisite knowledge and understanding of the internal component relationships of the prototypes, including the software source code resides solely with Power Ten, Inc. In addition, MCSC intends to leverage against cost, schedule and technical accomplishments previously achieved under the Office of Naval Research Rapid Innovation Fund contract of which Power Ten, Inc. was the sole participant and awardee for prototype development; thus there is not a Request for Proposal available for competitive bidding for this action; however, interested parties are encouraged to submit a statement of capability for satisfying the requirement. No telephonic requests will be accepted.

All communications shall be in writing to the Contracting Officer listed below. Proprietary information shall be clearly identified as such and will be protected. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
