Electronic warfare bridge, fort sill, OK.

Added: Jun 08, 2011 11:01 am Modified: Jun 09, 2011 9:23 amTrack Changes This synopsis is notification of the Fort Sill Contracting Office's intent to award an interim bridge contract to extend the services of the current Electronic Warfare (EW) contract, for a base period of performance beginning 20 July 2011 - 24 April 2012 plus three 1-month option periods. A competitive task order was awarded to Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems, 100 Sun Ave NE, Ste 300, Albuquerque, NM 87109-4660. The interim contract will be performed under the same terms and conditions of the existing contract, DABK01-03-D-0008-1L04, which was competitively awarded at MICC Center-Fort Eustis, Virginia, and will expire on 19 July 2011. This will be an unrestricted sole source procurement. The bridge contract will be issued to the current contractor, Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems, 100 Sun Ave NE, Ste 300, Albuquerque, NM 87109-4660. The contract type is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. This bridge contract will provide critical services to the USAFCOEFS . This action is accomplished under authority cited in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will satisfy agency requirements. This requirement requires mandatory instructor certifications to be held prior to teaching this course. Certifications normally take up to 150 days to obtain for the EW Course. Due to time constraints there is not enough time to provide Fair Opportunity to the FCoE contractors per guidance in following the task order competitive procedures which would allow a new contractor a phase-in period for non-certified instructors to obtain certification. Award to any other source would result in a lapse in service which would result in mission failure. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and is posted for five (5) calendar days. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition of this base seven month period plus five one-month option periods would be advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be issued without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this contract is based on this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code remains 611430.
