- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) has awarded a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract, consisting of a base year and four option years, to Technology Security Associates, Inc. (TSA) for management and technical support services. Per FAR 16.301-2, cost-reimbursement types of contracts are suitable for use only when uncertainties involved in contract performance do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed-price contract. A CPFF type contract was appropriate as the associated tasking is dynamic, which makes it difficult to estimate labor mix and hours with confidence. Cost-reimbursement contracts may be used only when (FAR 16.301-3(a)(1)) the contractor’s accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract; and (FAR 16.301-3(a)(2)) appropriate Government surveillance during performance will provide reasonable assurance that efficient methods and effective cost controls are used. TSA’s accounting system was deemed adequate via Audit Report Number 6701-2006M17740002, dated 21 November 2005 from DCAA Baltimore. In order to ensure appropriate Government surveillance, a Contracting Officer’s representative (COR) was appointed to review all required technical/financial data submissions and provide daily oversight of contractor efforts. In addition, a performance based statement of work and a quality assurance surveillance plan, including performance metrics, were incorporated into the contract. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than Full and Open Competition of Title 10 USC 2304 (c)(4), as implemented by FAR 6.302-4, “Full and open competition need not be provided for when precluded by the terms of an international agreement or a treaty between the United States and a foreign government or international organization, or the written directions of a foreign government reimbursing the agency for the cost of the acquisition of the supplies or services of such government.” As stated in their Letters of Offer and Acceptance, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom desire to jointly procure contractor support for their respective national programs from TSA. This acquisition satisfies agency requirements as they relate to management, engineering, and technical support efforts critical to the AV-8B Harrier Joint Program Office (JPO) International Program. All inquiries should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Daniel Chambers, via e-mail at Daniel.Chambers@navy.mil or via telephone at 301-757-7104.
