AMENDMENT TO JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command–Warren (ACC-WRN), Warren, Michigan 48397-5000, is the responsible contracting activity.

2. Description of Action: ACC-WRN proposes to award a new, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), three-year requirements contract to Leonardo DRS of Huntsville, Alabama for services necessary to support the Product Manager (PdM) Bradley Fighting Vehicle System (BFVS) Family of Vehicles (FoV) for the Bradley platform. This CPFF contract will be managed under Completion and Level of Effort (LOE) work directives. The Government will fund this action utilizing Army Procurement Appropriations (APA).

3. Description of Supplies/Services: This contract will allow critical System Technical Support (STS) services and System Sustainment Technical Support (SSTS) services for all on vehicle components source-controlled to DRS components for the PdM BFVS FoV (e.g. Power, Diagnostics, and Optics hardware and software systems) that are source-controlled to DRS for the Bradley platform. This contract will be awarded for the purchase of 66,010 hours to support all tasks required to train soldiers, update, modify, and field software and hardware services for all on vehicle components source-controlled to DRS components for the PdM BFVS (e.g. Power, Diagnostics, and Optics components hardware and software systems) that are source-controlled to DRS.

These services are necessary to support the PdM BFVS FoV for the United States Army.

The support services provided by the contractor consist of the following:

a) Management and Administration support includes:

Lead Engineering Logistics Program Management Support Manage and control resources Subcontractor Performance

b) Engineering support (Power, Diagnostics, and Optics) includes:

Analysis Technical publications Facility vehicle maintenance Maintenance and distribution markings Obsolescence Monitoring Product Improvements.

c) Configuration Management/Technical Data Package Revision Services support includes:

Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) Engineering Record Releases (ERRs)

Value: $60.5M (Obligated as of 31 October 2016) Competitive Status: Non-commercial J&A Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1

b) Contract: W56HZV-12-C-0405 DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLC Awarded: 26 September 2012 Value: $7.3M Competitive Status: Non-commercial J&A Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1

(2) No prior contract for this STS/SSTS requirement was accomplished using full and open competition. As noted in section 10.a.1, above, all previous contracts were awarded on a sole source basis using the authority 10 U.S.C 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1.

(3) No unusual patterns were revealed by the procurement history.

(4) The previous justification was issued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.

That justification stated it was cost prohibitive at that time to pursue the development of a TDP and it would result in “unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.” At this time, the delay alone is more significant than the cost.

b. Other facts. Not applicable. The reason for this amendment is to clarify the requirement and ensure there is no overlap between this effort and the one covered by the Direct Support Electrical System Test Set (DSESTS), Embedded Diagnostics (ED), Software Loader/Verifier (SL/V), Combined Application Platform (CAP) and Power and Diagnostics (PD) effort found under J&A Control No 2017-

060. This contract will cover STS/SSTS all on vehicle components source-controlled to DRS components for the PdM BFVS FoV (e.g. Power, Diagnostics, and Optics hardware and software systems) that are source-controlled to DRS, instead STS/SSTS of PdM BFVS Power, Diagnostics, and Optics hardware and software, which is covered under the DSESTS, ED, SL/V, CAP and PD effort.

11/12. Technical/Requirements Certification: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

13. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination: The negotiated price will be determined fair and reasonable through a combination of Cost Analysis to thoroughly analyze each of the proposed individual cost elements, in addition to conducting a price analysis to ensure the proposed price is consistent with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and actual historical pricing. Army Contracting Command – Warren (ACC-WRN) has a dedicated Cost and Pricing Division with trained Cost/Price Analysts and Industrial Specialists who will assist the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) by performing the Cost and Price analysis. This analysis will also be supported by a Project Manager – Armored Fighting Vehicles (PM-AFV) technical review. The PCO will request engineers or similar personnel familiar with the end item review labor types and quantities to ensure what is proposed is fair and reasonable. The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) expertise and audit support will be requested for input. The recommendations contained in the DCAA Audit, DCMA Technical report, and/or PM Engineering Technical report will be used by the Cost/Price Analyst to develop a recommended negotiating position. This detailed Government Position will be approved in a comprehensive Business Clearance Review consisting of reviews from senior contracting officials at ACC-WRN. Certified Cost or Pricing Data will be required and will form the basis for this analysis. The results of negotiations, and the detailed Fair and Reasonable determination from the PCO, will be documented in a Post Negotiation Memorandum (PNM) that will be reviewed and concurred upon by senior Contracting personnel within the Pricing Division.
