- Description
- This is a sole source synopsis for the acquisition of a four month performance period extension, 01 January 2012 to 30 April 2012, for current Unclassified IT Support and Services (UITSS) contract HR0011-06-D-0001 with Wyle Information Systems, in support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Support Services Office (SSO). In accordance with the authority at FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements", DARPA intends to negotiate a contract modification for the four month extension. This announcement constitutes the only synopsis for this requirement and is issued for notification purposes only. The current support services are set to expire on 31 December 2011. Wyle Information Systems needs to continue to provide support services for the four month period because DARPA/SSO requires a team of individuals that are familiar with the current DARPA IT environment and the strategic plan in order to provide full spectrum IT Services. Wyle has five (5) years of experience with the current systems and knowledge of how DARPA conducts IT business on a day to day basis. If the proposed contractor is not selected 3-5 months of effort and cost will need to be incurred to facilitate a new teams understanding of the customizations included in the DARPA systems and the business operations in order to effectively execute the action. During that time there would be significant risk to DARPA's IT systems and the ability of the Agency to carry out its mission, as management of the IT systems would not be sufficiently staffed, and there would be a lack of knowledge of current systems and architecture to ensure that the networks operate properly. To this end, a separate competition for the performance of IT services at DARPA is currently underway with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. A Pre-solicitation notice was published on 23 November 2011 with the solicitation number W911NF-12-R-0002. The Request for Proposal is expected to be released on or about 08 December 2011.
