N00421-13-R-0105 Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Services for 6. 6F

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD, intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source bridge contract for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Services for 6.6F.  International Logistics Program Office, AIR 6.6F at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Maryland is acquiring acquisition logistics, sustainment, and life cycle support for all of the FMS programs across Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) of Fairfax, Virginia.  This acquisition covers an extended period of performance of approximately 12 months that will run from 24 September 2013 to 23 September 2014, comprised of a 12-month base period. This procurement is necessary as the current contract ordering period is scheduled expire 10 September 2013. Due to the ongoing nature of the logistic support currently being performed under contract N00421-08-D-0013 and the need to continue these services without an extended break in the ordering period, GDIT is the only practical source for providing the necessary continuation of these services until award of a competitive follow-on contract. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The authority providing other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." GDIT is the sole source capable of providing these efforts without creating the impact on the fielded systems, sponsor schedules, project schedules, operations and operational readiness that would be caused by a break in service. It is unrealistic, from a technical and contractual perspective, to expect any other potential source to provide continued services for this short period of performance prior to the competitive contract being awarded. Because of the nature of this requirement and the impracticality and substantial costs the Government would incur and not recover through competition, this will be procured on a sole source basis. No phone inquiries will be entertained.  All responses shall be made in writing by email, U.S. mail, or facsimile to the attention of Ms. Taynelle McCloud using the contact information provided in this synopsis.
