Notice of Intent for H9240420F0049 ‐ Game Changers II

BACKGROUND

In April of 2020, USSOCOM awarded a contract for the Game Changers II IT solution service. The Gamer Changers II or Primary Automated Acquisition Workplaces (PAAWs) is an effort that provides IT services for the multiple automated workplaces, collaboration sites, and acquisition management systems primarily used by the workforce on the SIPR and NIPR Net Portals to improve the ability of the workforce. Telesis is the vendor and they have been servicing SOF AT&L for 3 years. We intend to extend this contract for 6 more months.

Notice of Intent

The Government hereby submits a notice of intent to award a 6 month extension to Telesis under the Game Changers II contract. The clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services was unintentionally left out due to administrative oversight. This clause allows for services to be extended up to 6 months. In order to solve this administrative issue, we must do a bilateral modification to insert the 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services clause. A Justification and Approval will be posted in a few weeks.

However, a new Primary Automated Acquisition Workplaces (PAAWs) contract will be competed among 8(a)s in the near future (a competitive 8a set aside). We will soon post a Sources Sought Notice for the Game Changers II/PAAWs contract renewal. USSOCOM HQ encourages 8(a) vendors who provide IT services to respond to the future Sources Sought Notice. Again, this posting only serves a Notice of Intent for the 6 month extension. A future Sources Sought Notice with more information will be posted at a later date.

This is just a Notice of Intent; meaning we plan to award this effort to the above vendor. This is not a solicitation for quotes/proposals. This is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government only commits to efforts via a written contract or agreement. As the Contracting Officer, I am the main POC for this subject. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please direct all inquiries to me Marvin Marcia at marvin.marcia@socom.mil . I will ensure responses are provided to all submissions and/or inquiries within a reasonable amount of time.
