Thule Tracking Station DS3 Service

Added: Mar 04, 2016 2:43 pm The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), 2300 East Drive, Scott Air Force Base, IL 62225, intends to issue a sole source contract to SES Government Solutions, Inc. (SES-GS), 11790 Sunrise Valley Drive, Suite 300, Reston, Virginia, 20191-1441. This acquisition provides DS3 and operations and maintenance between Thule Air Base, Greenland and Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado using commercial satellite bandwidth.  The remote location, extreme weather conditions and a short three month construction season with no possibility of teaming arrangement, subcontracting agreement, or some other means negotiated between SES-GS limits competition.  SES-GS is the only source that can perform this service to fulfill the Government's requirement.

Sustainable acquisition requirements do not apply.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the agency requirement.
