Synopsis:
Notice of Intent (NoI) To Award a Sole Source Contract Action:
The Defense Information System Agency (DISA) National Capital Region (DITCO)-NCR PL63 intends to award a non-competitive (i.e. sole source) contract to Expression Networks LLC., 1600 Tysons Boulevard, 8th Floor, McLean, VA 22102. The cited authority for this action is 10 U.S.C.§ 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. (FAR 6.302-1/DFARS 206.302-1.)

A. Description of Action:
Contract action is the award of a one-time contract vehicle to Expression Networks LLC, using a firm-fixed price contract. This requirement is for Joint Spectrum Data Repository (JSDR) and Integrated Spectrum Desktop (ISD) Supplemental Development and Sustainment Tasking of which Expression Networks LLC is the only responsible source (who can provide successful configuration and implementation of the Joint Spectrum Data Repository version 2 (JSDRv2)).

B. Description of Supplies/Services:
The contract supplements the tasking being performed through the ongoing development contract for Joint Spectrum Data Repository (JSDR) and Integrated Spectrum Desktop (ISD) Supplemental Development and Sustainment Tasking related to the ongoing GEMSIS effort.

C. Contractor's Unique Capabilities/Qualifications:
There is only one source capable of providing the support required to establish the necessary expertise on the JSDRv2 architecture, the spectrum data, and data exchange standard that would be required to keep the program on time and within acceptable cost parameters. This new JSDRv2 has been incorporated into the GEMSIS ACAT III program of record, which is approaching the Increment 2 Block 3 Milestone C with Full Operational Capability (FOC) to be achieved by 4Q 2017. Due to the time and cost constraints of completing GEMSIS Increment 2 Full Operational Capability (FOC), it is imperative to acquire as an interim measure, supplemental developmental and sustainment tasking to the ongoing JSDRv2 rapid development effort to allow for completion of new items that have been identified to be necessary to prepare the JSDR program for sustainment. This will allow GEMSIS to meet other Increment 2 Key System Attributes (KSAs) within the Increment 2 timeframe that have not been able to be successfully addressed through other efforts.

In accordance with the aforementioned, Expression Networks LLC has been identified as the only responsible source of satisfying this requirement. DISA-NCR intends to award on a sole source basis by 13 May 2016, for a Base + One (1) Option Year.

Disclaimer: This NoI is not a request for quote or proposal. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. Therefore, this NOI also serves as a "Sources Sought" announcement. Any contractors who can demonstrate their capability to perform these required services without needing a transition period should indicate their written interest by April 26, 2016 by 09:00 AM Eastern Time.
