- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE - THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD TO CACI-CMS INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. FOR CONTINUATION OF EXISTING MISSION ESSENTIAL WORK FOR THE OSD COMMUNITY. Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate intends to extend the performance period on contract HQ0034-10-C-0057 issued to CACI-CMS Information Systems, Inc. the incumbent contractor, on a sole source basis under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy the agency's requirements. The existing contract with CACI-CMS Information Systems, Inc. will be extended for four (4) months from 01 JAN 2012 through 30 APR 2012, and will include two (2) one-month option periods. The options are being included to allow the Government to extend the performance period on a month-to-month basis in the event that the award and/or performance under the follow-on competitive awards is delayed. The clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will also be included into this extension. This contract will provide for an approximate 30-day transition phase with performance currently projected to commence 01 APR 2012 under the follow-on competitive task orders, resulting from the award of the basic multiple award contracts from the Net-Centric Integrated Enterprise Information Technology Solutions (NIEITS) solicitation, HQ0034-10-R-0046. The delay in issuing the follow-on competitive task orders is due to the extended litigation regarding the above awards and solicitation, which was reviewed by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Court rendered a decision on 31 OCT 2011 in favor of the Government. Based on the Court's decision, the Government is proceeding with the follow-on competitive task orders. Therefore, this action is necessary in order to maintain continuity of vital mission essential recurring services for IT systems and business applications, affecting operations within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Pentagon, and National Capital Region. Operations services include IT Helpdesk, Server and Desktop Operations, Asset Management, Information Assurance, Governance and Configuration Management, Security Services, and Applications Development and Support. Engineering services provide for system patches, upgrades, changes, repair of systemic problems, and facilitate transition to the OSD Target Architecture, including transitioning servers to the Army's Information Technology Agency. Both the Operations and Engineering services provide support to a customer base of approximately 6,500 users. The user base is located throughout the National Capital Region; primarily in the Pentagon, Rosslyn, Crystal City, and the Mark Center. CACI-CMS Information Systems, Inc. is the only source that can provide uninterrupted service with no degradation in support within the timeframes discussed in this memorandum as they hold critical knowledge and expertise which are vital to the continued operations of the IT infrastructure, business applications, and processes, while the Government completes the awards for the follow-on acquisition. If this extension is awarded to a new contractor, major disruptions will occur as the new contractor learns to operate and maintain the numerous unique and specialized applications within a very short period of time and for a very short period of time. Award to any other source during this interim period would result in a lapse in service which would result in mission failure. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition pending award of the follow-on contract would be advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be issued without further notice. Interested parties may identify their capabilities with respect to this requirement by Tuesday, 29 NOV 2011, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. All information received will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541513 with a size standard of $25.0 million.
