- Description
- NASA/ARC intends to extend Contract NNA08AF13C (Ames Research Center InformationTechnology Support & Services 2, commonly referred to as ACITS 2) with Dell ServicesFederal Government (previously Perot) on a sole-source basis pursuant to 10 U.S.C2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of Ames Research Center's (ARC) CodeI, Information Technology Directorate. The performance period will be extended for amaximum of eight (8) months (December 1, 2011 - July 31, 2012), consisting of one three(3) month base performance period and five (5) one-month option periods. A contractmodification reflecting this extension and resultant increase in the estimated Cost PlusFixed Fee (CPFF) of the contract will be issued on or before December 1, 2011, theexpiration date of the ACITS 2 Contract NNA08AF13C.The current Contractor provides the following mission critical support services underACITS 2: IT Systems and Facilities Support: The contractor is responsible for providing SystemAdministration, IT Security, Facility Support, Hardware/Software Maintenance, ApplicationManagement, Data Storage and Retrieval, Customer Support, Technical Planning, Analysis,and TrainingNetwork/Communications Systems and Support: The contractor is responsible for providingNetwork Design and Development, Network Services, Distributed Systems, Audio, Video, andVoice Communication Systems, Wireless/Emergency Communication Systems,Network/Communication InfrastructureBusiness Systems and Support: Financial Services, Human Resources, Security, Logistics,and Business Systems InfrastructureScientific Computing Systems and Support: Scientific Computing consists of designing,developing, installing, modifying, configuring, operating, and maintaining software andcomputing systems in order to solve computationally intensive and/or complex engineeringand scientific problems in support of ARC missions, programs, and projects. Thecontractor is responsible for providing Scientific Applications, Data Acquisition andAnalysis, Modeling and Tool DevelopmentOutreach/Informational Systems and Support: This information technology area isdominated by rich content that needs to be distributed efficiently and effectively tocustomers, whether they are internal to ARC, to NASA, or for the general public. Theseneeds include web applications, information-based systems for the design, development,installation, maintenance, operations, upgrades, configuration management, archiving,customer support, and security for content-rich, IT based data systems. Examples includescientific databases and collections, geographical information systems, and digital imagearchive and retrieval systems, Library Systems, Conference/ Presentation/AdvocacySupport.This extension will allow for a continuation of services to ensure program continuity andcritical mission support and to avoid significant technical impacts to supported programswhile competitive follow-on acquisition NNA10301939R is completed. The extension will extend the period of performance of the current contract, NNA08AF13C,for a period of eight months, from December 1, 2011, through July 31, 2011, and increasethe contract value accordingly. The current contractor, Dell Services Federal Government(previously Perot), is considered the only contractor that can meet ARCs needs given theshort period of performance for the extension. Awarding an eight-month contract toanother source, at the same time procurements and associated phase-in for NASAsAgency-wide Information Technology Infrastructure Integration Program (I3P) and ARCsfollow-on ACITS 3 requirement are in process, would result in substantial duplication ofcosts and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Governments requirements and not allowfor a sufficient phase-in period, thereby affecting the continuity of services andcausing unacceptable delays in fulfilling ARCs requirements.The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intendsto solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Thepurpose of this action is to bridge the performance period between the end of the currentcontract and the anticipated award of the follow-on requirement. Offers have beenreceived for evaluation in response to NNA10301939R, the solicitation for the follow-oncontract, which was set aside for small business. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit theircapabilities and qualifications to perform the effort IN WRITING to the identified pointof contact not later than 4 PM PST on November 4, 2011. Such communication ofcapabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determiningwhether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by theGovernment not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis,based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Questions regarding the extension can be sent via email to Jeannette Alabiez atjeannette.albiez@nasa.gov.
