Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) Naval Enterprise Network (ONE-Net) Bridge Contract Extension to CSRA LLC Under Bridge Contract Number N00039-17-D-0002

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) intends to award, on an

other than full and open competition basis, a bridge contract extension to bridge contract

number N00039-17-D-0002 with CSRA LLC, 3170 Fairview Park Drive, Falls Church, VA

22042-4516. The contract being extended is an indefinite quantity indefinite delivery

contract supporting PEO-EIS PMW 205 and their provision of major mission essential

tasks: 1) Service Desk (SD) Support, 2) Networks and Systems Operations (NASO)

Support, 3) Field Services (FS) Support, 4) Information Assurance (IA) Services Support,

5) Network Technical Support (NTS), 6) Business Management Office (BMO) Support, 7)

Tier II/III (T 2/3) Support, 8) Tier IV (T4) Support, and 9) HBSS Support.

This prospective award is based on the authority for other than full and open competition

found at 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source

and no other supplier or services will satisfy agency requirements. CSRA LLC is the

contractor that currently possesses the operational knowledge to enable transition from

the ONE NET contract (N00039-17-D-0002) to the SMIT contract (N00039-20-D-0054)

and to maintain continuity of operations while the transition-off is conducted. The

required efforts cannot be performed by any source other than CSRA LLC without

substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered

through competition. Additionally, award to any other source would result in an

unacceptable delay in fulfilling the agencies requirements. CSRA LLC will be continuing

to provide for operation and maintenance of the Navy Enterprise OCONUS Network while

concurrently executing a transition-off the ONE NET Contract and task orders to permit

the competitively awarded SMIT contractor to assume full acceptance of responsibility for

service delivery under the follow-on contract award.

This bridge contract extension follows a competitive follow-on contract award, referred to

as SMIT, for delivery of OCONUS ONE-Net services, which has come under protest, thus

delaying the incumbent's transition of contracted ONE-Net services to the newly awarded

follow-on SMIT contract.

This acquisition will provide a bridge contract extension for continuing IT services during

the transition from the existing Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) Naval

Enterprise Network (ONE-Net) bridge contract to the proposed Next Generation

Enterprise Network Re-compete (NGEN-R) family of contracts in support of the Naval

Enterprise Networks (NEN) program office PMW 205. The bridge contract extension will

be a sole source contract extension to CSRA LLC and will provide services similar to those

currently provided via the ONE-Net Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite

Quantity (IDIQ) bridge contract (N00039-17-D-0002) that will facilitate the transition to

the NGEN-R contract(s). Contract extension award is estimated to be effective 1 June

2020. The period of performance will be for one 7-month performance period ending on

27 December 2020, to enable transition to the follow-on contractor's assumption of full

operational responsibility for OCONUS service delivery.

The prospective award is planned to be a Commercial Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) type

contract with a 7-month base period and an estimated price of approximately $3 million,

to be awarded in Fiscal Year 2020.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS; however,

all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be

considered by the agency. The Government will not reimburse firms for any costs

associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice.
