Support Services Bridge Contract for Surface Maintenance Engineering Planning Program

Added: Oct 05, 2017 3:55 pm The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source follow-on bridge contract to McKean Defense Group, LLC., located at One Crescent Drive, Suite 400, Philadelphia, PA 19112-1015, to continue providing support services to SEA 21, Surface Maintenance Engineering Planning Program (SURFMEPP). Requirements for this support include critical engineering services and administrative service support for lifecycle maintenance.

The current support services contract, SeaPort-e Task Order N00178-04-D-4078-EH01, ends on October 31, 2017. The follow-on competition was awarded and then protested, leaving a gap with no support services. The intent of this follow-on bridge is to fill that anticipated gap. The bridge contract will include a three (3) month base period with three (3) additional one (1) month options, totaling 6 months, if all options are exercised. This contract will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), which allows an agency to restrict competition when services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued provisions of highly specialized services, when it is likely that an award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. No other source has the capability to perform the work described herein in the time frame required to meet NAVSEA's operational needs without resulting in unacceptable delays and a substantial duplication of costs. The follow-on contract was awarded competitively within SeaPort-e.
