- Description
- The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk Contracting Department Philadelphia Office intends to solicit on a sole source basis a requirement for one (1) year of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services in support of the Forces Surveillance Support Center (FSSC) Relocatable Over the Horizon Radar (ROTHR) Systems. The ROTHR System is a radar system that detects and tracks drug trafficking activities in Northern South American and Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico basins. It is used by the Navy, North American Defense (NORAD), Customs, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and other national security agencies. ROTHR Systems are located in Virginia, Texas, and Puerto Rico. The Contractor shall operate, maintain, and support the ROTHR Systems 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Additionally, the effort includes systems engineering, engineering change proposal preparation and analysis, failure analysis, configuration management, preparation, installation and testing of field change kits, logistics support, training, and repair and refurbishment services. This requirement presents several challenges to the Contractor including having to work with a mature system, dealing with parts obsolescence, and the Government does not possess the Level III technical data associated with this unique legacy system. Raytheon Technical Services Corporation (RTSC) of Reston, VA is currently providing the required services under Contract Number N00140-05-C-0015, which is scheduled to conclude on 31 July 2010. While the Government is currently preparing for a long-term competitive procurement of the required services, a Bridge Contract with incumbent contractor RTSC is in the best interest of the Government to avoid a break in services. This 1-year procurement is being processed through other than full and open competition pursuant to the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with RTSC for this 1 year effort to cover a period of performance of 1 August 2010 through 31 July 2011. See Numbered Notes 22 and 26.
