The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a contract modification on a cost only/cost plus fixed fee level of effort basis to General Dynamics - Advanced Information Systems, Inc. (GD-AIS), 12450 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, VA  22033 using other than full and open competition pursuant to U.S.C 2304 (c)(1) and as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1.  The requirement is to support the Maritime Integrated Air and Missile Defense Planning System (MIPS).  The proposed contract modification will have a period of performance of twelve (12) months and an estimated 16,400 hours.
