No-cost time extension for advisory and assistance services for PTSS

This provides notification of the Missile Defense Agency's intent to extend contracts HQ0006-10-C-0004 and HQ0006-10-C-0005, Advisory and Assistance services for the Precision Tracking Space System (PTSS) for a period of three (3) months. These contracts were previously extended under J&As No. 12-0016 and 12-0017. Due to unanticipated delays in the re-procurement process, the new Task Order under the Missile Defense Agency Engineering and Support Services (MiDAESS) program will not be awarded in time. The three-month contract extensions will bridge the gap and allow completion of the procurement process under the MiDAESS contract. Additionally, the contract extensions will incorporate an option period of three (3) months. Dependent upon the timing of the award of the new MiDAESS Task Order, the Government may or may not exercise the three-month option.
The extensions will be performed by the incumbent contractors, Vanguard Research, Inc., 1235 S Clark St STE 501, Arlington, VA 22202 and Winter, Donald C., Sole Proprietor, McLean, VA 22102, respectively. The period of performance extensions on these contracts are needed to avoid a break in service until the follow-on procurement efforts for these services are completed.

The contract extensions on HQ0006-10-C-0004 and HQ0006-10-C-0005 is accomplished pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements," as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).

This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this action under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) within 15 days of this notice. The Government will not be responsible for any cost incurred by interested parties in preparation of information or documents related to this synopsis. Written questions regarding this notice of intent must be emailed to Ms. Elizabeth Sciortino at email address elizabeth.sciortino.ctr@mda.mil and Ms. Valarie Hall at email address valarie.hall@mda.mil.
