The period of performance for this bridge will be six months from 01 June 2018 to 30 November 2018. The estimated dollar value of the six (6) month bridge will be $1,594,483.79.

The current award for support services under task order N00178-07-D-4978-EE01 expires on 31 May 2018. ONR has been working to award the follow on prior to the expiration of the current task order, however additional time is needed in order to complete the solicitation, evaluate proposals and complete the source selection process. The Contracting Officer intends to procure the services by awarding a sole source contract to extend the services performed under task order

N00178-07-D-4978-EE01.

Task order N00178-07-D-4978-EE01 provides analytical, technical, and programmatic support services for the ONR Sea Warfare & Weapons Department, ONR Code 33. Code 33 is heavily reliant on the support they receive from this task order. The task order provides technical support for the management and execution of science and technology programs, including the development of investment strategies, evaluation of technical proposals (in an advisory/non-voting capacity), preparation of warfighting payoff assessments, tracking of financial documents, preparation of draft briefing materials, and reports and correspondence. This technical support provides direct technical and management expertise to assist with the planning, management and execution of ONR Code 33 and related programs, as the contractor provides liaison support within the Navy community, other services and DoD organizations, and international DoD partner services and organizations.

In the event of a gap in service, the work the support services employees perform under the current task order cannot be absorbed, near term or long term, by Government employees, the task order provides thirteen (13) support personnel who provide support in a wide range of areas.

Code 33’s Government personnel are fully engaged in other efforts (several of which rely on the functions being performed by the support services employees and the technical support that is provided under task order N00178-07-D-4978-EE01).
