Description

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), Arlington, Virginia intends to solicit, negotiation, and award an extension to a sole source COST contract under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation, FAR 6.302-1 �Only One Responsible Source And No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.� Contract N0001924C0057 was originally awarded on a sole source basis to General Dynamics One Source (GDOS). CAGE: 474R7. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541512, with a size standard of $34.0 Mil. This contract is to provide the F-35 JPO with Contractor support to deliver full range of IT and cybersecurity services required to support and maintain the Unclassified IT network. The required services consist of the following: Planning [B1] the transition of the Unclassified network to a new data center Execution of transition to new data center Relocation of Unclassified network to new data center Program Management Enterprise Architecture Life Cycle Management Testing Operations & Maintenance Enterprise Data Management Service Desk Support Training Services Information Assurance and Cybersecurity Services Application and Software Management Operating, maintaining, and properly managing the life cycle of hardware, software, and services is the crucial, primary service provided by this contract. The Contractor is required to conduct a program audit of all software currently in use and to manage software updates and patches Additionally, the F-35 JPO is currently in the process moving its classified and unclassified servers to a new data center location in the National Capital Region. Originally scheduled for completion by September 2025, this move to the new data center was delayed by an estimated 6-12 months. The F-35 JPO requires ongoing vendor support to move its classified and unclassified servers without a degradation of services, and there are still 45 ongoing projects that require continuous vendor support from the incumbent contractor. GDOS can continue the work they have already implemented to support the migration without a learning curve while preventing data loss, security vulnerabilities, and downtime. This work is a logical follow-on to the original work that only the incumbent can perform without a significant disruption. GDOS possesses the institutional knowledge of the JPO�s risk tolerance, security protocols, and data protection measures which are essential for this work. A new source could not logically acquire this knowledge and skill in a reasonable timeframe to support the migration. Transition to a new vendor would result in unacceptable compromise to cost and timeline to completion. All responses received, to include capability statements, within 15 days of the posting of this notice will be considered by the Government. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before January 31, 2026. Points of contact are Sanjana Garg, Contract Specialist, at Sanjana.Garg@jsf.mil, and John Meyers, Contracting Officer, at John.Meyers@jsf.mil
