This solicitation notice is for technical and administrative services supporting Government-Owned/Contractor-Operated facilities at Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant Allegany Ballistics Laboratory in Rocket Center, WV and Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant Bedford in Bedford, MA. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command intends to award a sole-source contract to incumbent contractor Dextera Corporation to allow time to adequately compete the follow-on requirement. The requirement was previously set aside for the 8(a) Business Development Program and awarded to Dextera Corporation, but they have since graduated from the program. The Navy conducted sources sought notices under a public announcement and on the SEAPORT portal but determined no eligible 8(a) contractors could execute the requirement. The sole-source award was made to Dextera Corporation on January 21, 2021 for an unknown amount due to unacceptable delays from the process of removing the requirement from the 8(a) program and competitively awarding the follow-on contract.
