Notice of Intent - Sole Source – NAWCAD IT Support (BRIDGE)

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWCAD) has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source modification to an existing task order with Smartronix Inc. (SMX). The notice pertains to continued IT Support Services for operations, maintenance, and Information Technology engineering activities at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. This special notice is informational and not a competitive proposal request, focusing on a bridge effort to maintain ongoing contract support. The modification will be awarded under the GSA Alliant 2 Contract Number 47QTCK18D0007, specifically for Task Order N0042119F0422. The notice was posted on January 28, 2025, with a due date of February 12, 2025.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to extend IT support services through a bridge contract until a competitive follow-on contract can be awarded. The period of performance is anticipated from February 17, 2025, to November 1, 2025, with the primary performance location being Patuxent River, MD. The government intends to negotiate this requirement under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Smartronix Inc. is the sole contractor identified for this bridge effort, and the notice emphasizes that the government retains full discretion in determining contract award. Contractors should note that this notice is purely informational and does not constitute a competitive solicitation, and the government's decision to proceed is not binding based on any responses received.
