About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has published a Special Notice for a sole source contract extension for Mission Support Services (MSS) at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). Due to unforeseen delays in the follow-on contract, the government intends to extend the existing contract with Southwest Range Services LLC for up to 18 months to provide analytical and engineering support services on a sole source basis. This will allow the government time to successfully compete the follow-on requirement.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide potential contractors with the opportunity to identify any conditions or actions that may unnecessarily restrict competition, express interest in competing as a prime contractor or subcontractor, and provide information on the commercial availability and pricing of the required services. Contractors are instructed to submit their responses by December 2, 2024, and should include details such as their company information, business size and status, and recommendations to improve the Army's acquisition approach. The proposed sole source contract is valued at up to $100 million and is categorized under NAICS code 541330 - Engineering Services.
