- Description
- The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) intends to award a sole-source contract to The Tauri Group LLC for technical support services for the Arms Control Enterprise System (ACES). This is a follow-on contract to the current task order issued to Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), under Contract Number DTRA01-02-D-0066, Task Order 0003. The Tauri Group LLC is a subcontractor to ARA under the existing task order. DTRA intends to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract with a base period of one (1) year and four (4) one-year options to The Tauri Group LLC to provide highly specialized expert professional services essential to support ongoing ACES operations and maintenance activities to include software change report analysis and prioritization, software maintenance updates and technology refresh efforts, treaty data exchanges, and 24/7 user support. The proposed contract will include an option to provide technical support as needed to any research, development, test and evaluation program for directed additional treaty data collection and reporting capability (modules) and/or upgrades. Inherent in these services is the requirement for expert, detailed knowledge of arms control treaties and agreements, to include inspection, escort, and monitoring provisions, notification requirements, reporting requirements regarding treaty-limited equipment and treaty-limited items, interaction and potential impacts between modules, data exchanges, the US Government interagency process, and international treaty discussions/negotiations (particularly regarding data reporting/exchanges). Also required is expert, detailed knowledge of other arms control data collection and reporting systems and their interaction with ACES. Systems include the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Integrated Notification Application, the Navy Strategic Programs Automated Reporting Treaty Accountable Notification System, the Air Force Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty Tracking and Reporting System, the Inspection Planning Module, and the Compliance Monitoring and Tracking System. The Tauri Group LLC is the only known source with extensive current and historical knowledge, experience, and expertise to perform this effort; thus, DTRA proposes to award this contract to The Tauri Group LLC on a sole-source basis. This action will be executed in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Responses to this notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to The Tauri Group LLC may be submitted within 15 days of publication of this notice; however, a determination by the Government not to compete this action at this time based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
