Notice of Proposed Contract Action

The Government has an ongoing need for Information Technology (IT) support services for the United States Army Regional Cyber Center - Continental United States (USARCC- C) to provide the full range of operations, maintenance and defensive functions of the Army's portion of the Global Information Grid (GIG), or LandWarNet.

The workload of the USARCC-C is divided into seven major services: Network Services, Messaging Services, Enterprise Services, Unified Capabilities, Computer Network Defense Services, CONUS LandWarNet Operations, and Mission Support Services.

The Contractor will support the USARCC-C's mission to operate, maintain and defend the Army's LandWarNet by providing management, administrative and technical support services. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, management, and other related services. The Government will require ITIL-compliant Contractor performance on tasks identified in the PWS in both classified and unclassified network environments. Work shall include current and new systems at various lifecycle stages, and any future applications/systems not currently identified.

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, the Government intends to award a short duration contract for USARCC-C IT Support Services for which the Government plans to solicit and negotiate with only one source: STG, Inc., 11091 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 200, Reston, VA 20190-5922. STG, Inc. is the only responsible source who may provide the necessary level of highly specialized services (skills) at time of award that are necessary to avoid substantial duplication costs and unacceptable delays.

This notice of proposed contract action applies only to the interim/bridge contract for continuity of services while the three year replacement contract is solicited, evaluated and awarded. This notice of proposed contract action is not a request for competitive proposals. No Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued.

All responsible sources may express interest and submit information which will be considered by the Government. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this posting is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government intends to make award to STG. Inc. on 29 December 2017, after the closing of this posting.
