- Description
- NASA Headquarters has a requirement to continue work under the HeadquartersInformation Technology Support Services (HITSS) contract NNH06CC93B with InDyne, Inc. HITSS supports Headquarters in the following areas: IT and Management Support,Appplications Development and Web Site Development and Maintenance, Systems Engineeringand Integration, NASA Headquarters Computer Center and Telecommunications Services,Customer Services, and IT Security.NASA intends to award a sole-source contract extension, for an additional six (6) monthsthrough May 31, 2012, to InDyne, Inc. pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only OneResponsible Source and increase the contract value by $16,000,000. This extension willallow the continuation of current work and the addition of new work until the HITSScompetitive follow-on contract is awarded. The HITSS follow-on RFP was released on April8, 2011 and proposals were received May 23, 2011.The contract extension is necessary to ensure the continuity of IT support services toNASA Headquarters. IT support is a mission critical funciton to all Headquarters MissionDirectorate and Mission Support Offices. Headquarters provides overall guidance anddirection to the Agency and as such this extension is necessary to avoid significantadverse impacts to the Agency in carrying out the NASA mission.A sole-source award to InDyne for the contract extension is necessary due to the natureand urgency of the work performed under this contract and the fact that we are conductinga competitive follow-on procurement. InDyne has the combined training, experience andexpertise to provide uniterrupted continuation of mission critical IT support.Shouldthese services be interrupted NASA Headquarters will be unable to utilize the HeadquarterIT infrastructure and systems required for providing leadership and management to theAgency. If NASA Headquarters attempts to procure these services from any other sourcefor this interim period, it will cause impacts in fulfilling NASA's mission due to theadditional time needed for any other source to reach the current level of expertise ofInDyne. Because of the time in procuring and planning another contract, InDyne isconsidered the only contractor that can meet NASA's needs given the short term of theextension.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing, via e-mail, to the identified point of contact not later than 2:00 PMlocal time on TBD. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and opencompetition basis, based upon the responses of this notice, is solely within thediscretion of the Government.The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is LeahHollander, 202-358-1998.
