AWRESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF THE AIRBORNE SURVEILLANCE IR PROGRAM The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) intends to issue a modification on an other than full and open competition basis, to an existing Contract N62269-94-C-0500, with PAR Rome Research Corporation, 314 South Jay Street, Rome, NY 13440. This modification will provide a six-month contract extension for research and development support services for the Airborne Surveillance IR Program. These services will include support for the Surveillance IRST (Infrared Search and Track) Program, the IRWIN (Infrared Window) Program, signal and data processing associated with the IRST Program, and the IR Surveillance Fieldable EO Testbed Facility. All are programs within the EO Sensors Branch (AIR-4.5.5.6) at NAWCAD Patuxent River, MD. The estimated cost of the extension is $582,000. PAR Rome Research Corporation is only firm that possesses the necessary knowledge, experience, and technical data required to perform this extension of effort within the limited time constraints of the Navy. Any other contractor would need a significant learning curve to become familiar with the effort, which consequently, would result in increased total cost and a substantial delay of service. The modification will provide the EO Sensors Branch with continued service until a follow-on effort can be awarded. For information or questions regarding this notice, please contact Angela Franco at (301) 757-9736. This requirement will be procured in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Numbered Note 22 applies.
