Description

Notification of Contract Action (NOCA). This Commerce Business Daily (CBD) announcement constitutes a Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) for proposed modifications and orders to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under Contract No. F19628-97-D-0014 increasing the ordering/performance period from 3 Feb 02 till approximately the 2nd quarter of CY02 and raising the ceiling price by $3M from $30M to $33M. ESC/SRK intends to award orders during September 2001 to provide continued Technical, Engineering, Analysis, and Management Support to ESC/SRG under the CIGSS Technical Support (CTS) contract. This interim "stop-gap" support is needed until the competitive Multi-INT Tasking, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TPED) System (MITS) Source Selection is complete. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii)(B), "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". In this case the USAF may deem services to be 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 (see 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B)). This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach, nor should it be construed as a commitment by the Government. An Acquisition Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during proposal development. You should only contact the Ombudsman with issues or problems you cannot satisfactorily resolve with the program manager and/or contracting officer. The Ombudsman role is to hear concerns, issues, and recommendations and communicate these to the appropriate government personnel. The Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality if desired. The Ombudsman does not evaluate proposals or participate in source selection. ESC's Acquisition Ombudsman is Colonel Joseph P. Maryeski, Director, Commander's Staff, ESC/CO, (781) 377-5106 or email at joseph.maryeski@hanscom.af.mil. Call Kathleen N. Cohen at (781) 377-5584 or email at kathleen.cohen@hanscom.af.mil with questions regarding this notice. See Notes 22 and 26.
