Consolidated Logistics Advisory & Assistance Service Support, Direct

It is the Governments intent to award a 6 Month contract extension to the Consolidated Logistics Advisory & Assistance Service Support, (CLASS) direct contract to support transition to follow-on contracts, to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) IAW Federal Acquisition Regulations 6.302-1, Only one Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The CLASS contract provides services in support of the operation of systems supporting the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) mission. CLASS provides A&AS to the Space and Missile Systems Center, Space Logistics Group (SMC/SLG) and related space organizations using Contractor Personnel resources through a single vehicle to optimize efficiencies for: Planning, programming, sustainment and implementation cycles, development of policy, decision making, management and administration, etc. Provide analysis/recommendations to Research and Development activities along with Engineering and technical advice. CLASS improves the effectiveness of management processes and/or procedures. CLASS support takes the form of advice, opinions, alternatives, analyses, evaluations, recommendations, training and technical support. CLASS improves the operation of systems supporting the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) mission. The SMC/SLG also requires CLASS support during several phases of planning, programming, sustainment, and implementation cycles of various government systems and complements the government's technical expertise in accomplishing its mission.

The current contract was awarded on 30 August 2007 with a base period of 31 Aug 07 to 31 Dec 07and 4 one calendar year options, 1 Jan 08 - 31 Dec 08, 1 Jan 09 - 31 Dec 09, 1 Jan 10 - 31 Dec 10 and 1 Jan 11 - 31 Dec 11, respectively. If all options were exercised the Period of Performance would have provided continued sustainment support through 31 Dec 2011 with an expected total contract value of $49.5M. Since then program workloads have increased substantially. This has resulted in increased reliance on the CLASS contractor to support the program offices with expertise and experienced personnel. The increase in support hours has caused the contract ceiling to run out ahead of schedule and with that the competitively awarded contract to SAIC has effectively ended. Based on projected mission and workload requirements, the program office projects a ceiling increase of the contract value by $15M for a total contract value of $64.5M will accommodate the completion of the residual work to 31 Dec 2010.

While this notice of intent is for informational purposes only, and is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties were requested under a separate notice number FA882307R0000 dated 15 Jun 10 for initial acquisition planning for the CLASS follow-on.
