The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) requires programmatic support and analytical services/reporting to provide specialized naval market studies that will enhance Maritime Domain Awareness and open-source understanding of international naval developments. This is a synopsis for non-commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR 5.2 - Synopsis of Proposed Actions. NSWCDD intends to award on a sole source basis a five-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to American Maritime International (AMI), 820 Pacific Avenue, Suite 100, Bremerton, WA 98337, for the services described above. This requirement is a follow-on to the support currently being provided by American Maritime International, Inc. (AMI) under N00178-08-C-1005 and N00178-08-C-1007. The contract will be for a base year beginning 01 September 2009 with four one-year options. AMI provides a unique and proprietary open source analysis and reporting that meets the immediate needs of the Government. No other source will be able to provide the requisite services, as the requisite data and reports are proprietary to AMI, and said data and reports are required to support the analytical services that are needed by the Government. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541690, with a size standard of $7M. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued by 23 July 2009. NSWCDD, 17632 Dahlgren Road, Dahlgren, VA 22448-5100 has implemented Electronic Commerce (EC) in the acquisition area; therefore, the synopsis and resulting solicitation with any applicable amendments will be available on the World Wide Web at http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. DoD will no longer award contracts to contractors that are not registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Information on registering in the CCR can be obtained by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov.
