- Description
- NASA Headquarters has a requirement to continue work under the HeadquartersInformation Technology Support Services (HITSS) contract NNH06CC93B with InDyne, Inc. HITSS supports Headquarters in the following areas: IT and Management Support,Applications Development and Web Site Development and Maintenance, Systems Engineeringand Integration, NASA Headquarters Computer Center and Telecommunications Services,Customer Services, and IT Security. NASA intends to award a sole-source contract extension, for up to an additional six (6)months through November 30, 2011, to InDyne, Inc. pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1),Only One Responsible Source. This extension will allow for a continuation of currentwork and new work until the HITSS competitive follow-on contract is awarded. The HITSSfollow-on RFP was released on April 8, 2011 and proposals are due on May 9, 2011.The contract extension is necessary to ensure the continuity of IT support services toNASA Headquarters. IT support is a mission critical function to all Headquarters MissionDirectorate and Mission Support Offices. Headquarters provides overall guidance anddirection to the Agency and as such this extension is necessary to avoid significantadverse impacts to the Agency in carrying out the NASA mission.A sole-source award to InDyne for the contract extension is necessary due to the natureand urgency of the work performed under this contract and the fact that we are conductinga competitive follow-on procurement. InDyne has the combined training, experience andexpertise to provide uninterrupted continuation of mission critical IT support. Shouldthese services be interrupted NASA Headquarters will be unable to utilize theHeadquarters IT infrastructure and systems required for providing leadership andmanagement to the Agency. If NASA Headquarters attempts to procure these services fromany other source for this interim period, it will cause impacts in fulfilling NASAsmission due to the additional time needed for any other source to reach the current levelof expertise of InDyne. Because of the time in procuring and planning another contract,InDyne is considered the only contractor that can meet NASAs needs given the short termof the extension. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing, via e-mail, to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00 PMlocal time on May 6, 2011. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely forthe purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurmenet on a competitivebasis.A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a fulland open competition basis, based upon the responses to this notice, is solely within thediscretion of the Government.The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is LeahHollander, 202-358-1998.
