About this opportunity
This Special Notice announces the Missile Defense Agency's intent to extend an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with deciBel Research, Inc. The IDIQ, HQ0147-19-D-0003, was competitively awarded initially to provide modeling and simulation support for the agency's programs.
The extension would allow deciBel Research to continue developing and sustaining the agency's Core Truth Models simulation system uninterrupted. This system is necessary to execute a number of critical missile defense programs and milestones over the next five years, including testing events for several capability increments. The Notice instructs that the agency will negotiate only with deciBel Research under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. It provides the anticipated period of performance for the extension as five option periods totaling four and a half years. Companies are advised to contact deciBel Research directly regarding any subcontracting opportunities rather than await a formal solicitation, as none will be issued for this proposed contract action.
Notice text
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to extend the Ordering Period and increase the contract value on an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) research and development contract to deciBel Research, Inc. This IDIQ was previously competitively awarded to provide continuity for the development and sustainment of MDA’s Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Truth and Elements Representations. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1.
The IDIQ extension will allow for the uninterrupted execution of MDA’s Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) that includes Ground Test (GT) events, Flight Test (FT) events, and Warfighter Training and Combatant Command (COCOM) exercise events. Specific MDA milestones that require the Core Truth Models (CTM) M&S System to execute include Increment 6B.2 (Limited Additional Mid-Term Discrimination and Residual Layered Homeland Defense), Increment 6C / 7 (Expanded Regional and Homeland Defense), Increment 8 / 9 (Key Subsystem Updates), Increment 10 (Integration of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)) (Initial Homeland Defense Threat Space), and Increment 11 (Defense of Guam (DoG) (Emergent Threat and Expanded Sensor Discrimination and Electronic Protections and Mitigations). Without the CTM M&S System, MDA will not be able to execute the tests and events planned in the IMTP.
This IDIQ extension would ensure continuity of critical work to deliver required capability increments. The anticipated PoP extension is five (5) options: two (2) 12-month options and three (3) 6-month option periods.
A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the government. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. No formal solicitation package is available. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact deciBel Research, Inc. directly.
