Notice of Intent to Sole Source

DESC:  The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) intends to negotiate and award a new modification, under M67854-14-C-0002, on a sole source basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c )(1) and FAR 6.302-1, with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), for a comprehensive electrical design that extends the upgrade electrical capability resident within the current contract to the complete Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) Survivability Upgrade (SU) vehicle.

The Government does not currently own the required rights to the AAV SU baseline electrical system control interfaces with components or the software applications used to operate the vehicle.  Therefore, MARCORSYSCOM cannot provide the baseline electrical system data for the current SU configuration in order to foster a competitive procurement.   The sole source work will provide for additional component upgrades not currently under contract to modernize the SU vehicle's baseline electrical system.

The anticipated period of performance is now from 20 May 2016 to 31 March 2017. 

The Government anticipates award of a Firm-Fixed-Price modification.

This effort was previously posted on FEDBIZOPS as a Special Notice Intent to Sole Source on 11 FEB 2016, ref M67854-14-C-0002-P000XX.
