It is the Government's intent to execute, by means of other than full and open competition, a modification to extend the Period of Performance (PoP) of the existing Air Force Network (AFNet) Total Lifecycle Acquisition & Support (ATLAS) Task Order (TO) FA8732-15-D-0039 RS01 awarded to Harris IT Services Corporation. The modification is estimated to be approximately $7.6M. The PoP of for the existing performance based ATLAS task order on NETCENTS II NetOps ends on 14 April 2016. Upon expiration of the ATLAS task order, the Air Force will risk a break in critical support services to the AFNet systems fielded by AFLCMC/HNI. AFLCMC/HNI intends to extend the contract services by executing up to a 5 month Firm Fixed Price (FFP) extension with two (2) month options with the incumbent Harris IT Services Corporation. The period of the extension would begin on 14 April 2016 and would be extended as needed to 14 September 2016, and have two (2) month option if needed for 15 September 2016 through 10 November 2016, and 11 November 2016 through 6 January 2017. The extension from 15 April 2016 to 14 September 2016 would ensure there is not a break in crucial support services to the AFNet fielded by AFLCMC/HNI. This extension will solely provide for additional Firm Fixed Price services. This extension action will allow for time to complete the solicitation and award of the competitive follow-on Cyber Support Services (CSS) contract action. ATLAS provides Tier 2 and 3 AFNet Response Center (ARC) helpdesk support to the AFNet for 100 Active Duty and Reserve Air Force Bases and National Guard (ANG) Bases. Additionally, ATLAS provides SME troubleshooting of AFNet incidents, Technical Order (TO) and Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) development and dissemination, vulnerability analysis, procurement and warehouse capability, obsolescence management and integration testing for AFNet systems. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC § 2304(c)(1), implemented as follows: FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) - Services may be deemed available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. Parties may identify their interest; accompanied by supporting literature to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Specialist. Please direct all interest, questions and concerns regarding this NOCA via email to Mr. Coit, Contracting Officer, at Anthony.Coit@us.af.mil and Mr. Mann, Contracting Specialist, at Sean.Mann.3@us.af.mil no later than 12:00 PM EDT, on 5-February-2016.

This NOCA is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the only acquisition approach. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this notice nor will the Government compensate a respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to AFLCMC/HNIK. An AFLCMC Ombudsman is available to consider and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offers, and others for this acquisition. Before consulting the Ombudsman, concerned parties should first address their concerns, issues and disagreements, and/or recommendation to the listed Contracting Officer above for resolution. The AFLCMC/XZC Ombudsman, located at Wright Patterson, OH serves as the Ombudsman for all of AFLCMC, including its GSUs. The Ombudsman hears concerns about specific issues in acquisitions, communicates those concerns from industry or Government personnel, and assists in the resolution of those concerns. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes, nor does the Ombudsman diminish the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. When approached with an issue or query, the Ombudsman independently assesses the situation and provides a response or initiates a resolution, and when requested, will maintain confidentiality as to the source of the inquiry. The AFLCMC ombudsman can be contacted at: AFLCMC Ombudsman 1790 10th Street Wright Patterson AFB, OH 45433 Telephone: 973-255-5472 Email: jill.qillinghamallen.1@us.af.mil
