- Description
- The Army Contracting Command-Redstone and U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) located in Huntsville, Alabama, in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii) (Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert under authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3)(B)), intends to execute without competition a bilateral contract modification under contract W9113M-09-D-0001 (sole source, Modification P00015) to Johns Hopkins University Applied Research Laboratory (JHU/APL) to to provide an eight (8) month extension to the ordering period (see details below). The address for this organization is 11100 Johns Hopkins Road, Laurel, MD 20723-6099; Cage Code 88898. A provision of the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) of 1984, as codified by 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(3)(B), authorizes non competitive contracts with educational institutions where necessary to establish or maintain essential engineering, research, and/or development capabilities. JHU is an approved University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) as authorized by the above statute and referenced in Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) UARC management plan dated July 2010 and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) ltr 5450 Ser 106/08-002 dated 30 October 2007. The JHU, as a UARC, may not compete against industry in response to competitive Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for development or production that involve engineering expertise developed or sustained through this contract action in accordance with statute 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3)(B). This acquisition may receive a combination of both competitive and non-competitive funding from various Department of Defense (DoD) agencies under the authority previously cited. JHU possesses an extensive breadth of capabilities and has been involved in broad programs of long term research and development of major DoD systems. The scope of the tasks performed under this contract extend across several areas of science and technology to include many different warfare elements, and involve various types of activities from basic research, development, test and evaluation, systems innovations, integration and engineering in support of the DoD's warfighting capabilities. No other known source can provide these services to maintain active research and development capabilities essential to various USASMDC/ARSTRAT and other Government missions without disrupting the support to existing technology development efforts or negatively impacting the readiness of systems under development. The primary purpose of this notice is to publicize this contract action prior to contract modification, as mandated in FAR Subpart 5.2 (Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions) and FAR Subpart 6.3 (Other Than Full and Open Competition). The contract type will remain Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and the period of performance will be extended from 21 February 2014 to 31 October 2014. This notice is not a formal solicitation or request for proposal.
