Space Science Information Technology Support (SSITS)

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to enter into a contract with Information Delivery Systems Inc., (IDS). IDS was the incumbent for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Contract Number N00173-17-C-6007, which had a period of performance (POP) of 7/01/2017- 6/30/2018. NRL has a need to continue work that was covered under contract number N00173-17-C-6007 while the requirement is being re-competed and awarded. Therefore, the objective of this JOFOC is to provide a bridge contract in order to continue to receive timely, responsive, high quality, and accurate software & hardware engineering services, information technology systems, network management, and scientific research software engineering/support for NRL.
