- Description
- Arcata Associates, Inc. (Arcata) intends to issue a modification to James C Bevier. (Contract 201719) to extend their contract for a period of six (6) months, (February 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014) with two (2) 3-month option periods, (August 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014; and November 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015). Arcata currently procures to James C Bevier under a prime contract with NASA Dryden Flight Research Centers (DFRC) Research Facilities and Engineering Support Services (RF&ESS) contract. This extension is necessary to bridge the performance period between the end of Arcatas RF&ESS current prime contract and the award of the new RF&ESS follow-on contract. Services received by James C Bevier are critical to mission operations of NASA DFRC. The services provided include: Application development, testing and troubleshooting support for the Radar Information Processing System (RIPS) application. Provide modified documentation in support to include Project Plan, Interface Control Document, Software Design Document, User Guide and Version Description updates. Provide off-site support including phone support and email support. Provide on-site support as required. Developer training Conduct on-site training to include discussions on the following: oArchitecture (system drawings, Visual Studio projects, Class hierarchy) o System Interface o Design/Data Flow/Object Sequence (high level only) oLimitations oPlanned future enhancements oOpen Configuration Change Request (CCRs)/(Discrepancy (DRs) Discussion oClosed CCRs/DRs and how implementing them effected the code. o Existing documentation summary o Dryden Time History (DTH) libraries. The current contractor, James C Bevier, is considered the only contractor that can meet DFRC's needs given the potentially short period of performance for the extension. The contractor has the experienced and skilled personnel already in place to provide continued and uninterrupted services at DFRC. Arcata intends to award a contract modification to James C Bevier under FAR 6.302-1 Award to another source for the period of this extension would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition of the extension and would not allow for a sufficient phase-in period. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 1:00 p.m. PDT on January 31, 2014. Such determination of capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by Arcata not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of Arcata. Arcata does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
