Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division plans to enter into a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Contract with Courage Services 6862 Elm St STE 340 Mc Lean, VA 22101-3897 for research and studies for human terrain/human geography analysis.

The proposed contract will have a 12-month base period of performance with two one-year options. This requirement will be negotiated on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1; Only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. The basis for restricting competition is Courage’s expertise in human terrain/human geography analysis, duplicative cost to the Government that it would not expect to recover through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirement through any other source. No formal solicitation will be issued. All responsible sources may inquire into the specific terms and conditions; such inquiries will be considered by the agency.
