- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) intends to award a sole source contract to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) with a base period of 6 months with two 3 month option periods to provide contractor logistic support (CLS) for approximately 66 Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Sustainment Support (C4IS2) weapons systems in CONUS and OCONUS locations. The estimated dollar value of this action is $35 million. The Marine Corps is in the process of transitioning support for C4IS2 equipment from the Intelligence Information, Command and Control Equipment and Enhancements (ICE2) contract. GDIT is the incumbent contractor under the ICE2 contract. The sole source contract advertised under this synopsis will provide continuation of services until such time as a competitively awarded contract solution is awarded. The Government currently anticipates this new contract will be part of the Information Technology Enterprise Solutions 2 Services (ITES-2S) contract. There are approximately 66 C4IS2 weapons systems across current Marine Corps areas (CONUS and OCONUS) that require CLS. The CLS will provide a Field and Sustainment maintenance capability in the following areas: support necessary to ensure all equipment accountable to this contract meets Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) established standards, Government-specific technical requirements, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software and documentation management, spares storage and inventory, commercial warranty management, equipment installation/de-installation, and established operational functions necessary to support the user. The contractor must provide a management organization and automated infrastructure designed to support a complex equipment inventory that integrates with preventive and remedial maintenance practices. The contractor must be able to procure materials, under the terms of the contract and with Contracting Officer's Representative approval that will include direct repair materials, operational support materials, enhancement materials, and COTS software and licenses. The maximum performance threshold for Turn Around Time (TAT) shall be 48 hours. The contractor must assist with supporting government inventory audits and reconciliations, transfer of supported equipment "as maintained" configuration descriptions, transfer of equipment service record and in-process support work, and physical transfer of Government Furnished Property to authorized designee. There shall be optional services that the contractor may be asked to provide include: various levels of support for COTS software, technical support, remote diagnostics, installation of equipment, and familiarization for Government personnel. Services will be provided at multiple CONUS and OCONUS DoD and contractor facilities. CONUS sights include military installations and contract facilities that exist to support military installations. OCONUS areas of support include, but are not limited to: PACOM, CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and EUCOM. OCONUS locations include travel aboard naval ships in support of Marine Expeditionary Unit detachments. In the event that a contractor other than GDIT is awarded the follow-on competitively awarded contract, GDIT will assist the new contractor with the turnover (relief in place) from the transitional contract to the fully-competed, long-term contract. GDIT shall provide all technical data to the government and long-term contractor. GDIT shall provide a transition plan and 90 day schedule outlining how they will provide support in all matters (handle such things as turning over equipment, security, facilities, knowledge transfer, and other information needed) to ensure a smooth transition. A short-term sole source contract with the incumbent is being selected because award to any other source would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Marine Corps' requirement for support until such time as a follow-on full and open competitively awarded contract may be put in place. Current CLS cannot be interrupted without causing unacceptable delays in services and degrading mission capability. Awarding a contract to a different source would create unacceptable delays in that all new contractor support personnel would be required to have their security clearances transferred or reinstated, complete mandatory training and medical screenings, and be processed through the lengthy contractor support deployment process. All deployed personnel would be required to return from OCONUS locations, with the government incurring that cost, as well as the cost to deploy new contractor support personnel needed for OCONUS locations. Additionally, an immediate cessation of CLS to the systems would occur. No corrective maintenance services would be performed to return the Mission Critical systems to an "available" status, and the entire fleet of equipment would become fully impaired within 4-6 months. Awarding a short-term sole source contract with the incumbent will allow current CLS to continue with no interruption until such time as a follow-on full and open competitively awarded contract may be put in place.
