- Description
- Naval Air Warfare Center, Orlando Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), in support of the Submarine Skills Training Network - Virtual Interactive Shipboard Instructional Tour (SUBSKILLSNET - VISIT), intends to issue a contract modification to Technical Support Services Joint Venture (TSSJV), under Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract N61340-12-D-0007, on a sole source basis under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, due to only one known responsible source who can meet the requirement until the full scope of the requirement can be solicited competitively. This contract modification will temporarily extend the ordering period of the contract from 27 Sept 2013 until 30 July 2014. Although more than one source may be able to fulfill the requirement, this would create substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through a competition for the short term. In addition, award to any other source would result in an unacceptable delay of work in fulfilling the agency's requirements due to long ramp-up time required to become proficient in software baseline capabilities, code, libraries and methods. An acquisition strategy is simultaneously being developed to result in a competitively established contract to meet future requirements. (A Request for Proposal (RFP) on the future requirements of SUBSKILLSNET- VISIT is anticipated to be issued on or about November 2013, RFP N61340-13-R-0059). This action is necessary as NAWCTSD is unable to continue to use contract N61340-12-D-0004 given the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy direction for the immediate cessation of all Small Business Development Program 8(a) procurement contracts for Military Simulators or Services in the Military Simulator Industry. Any change in policy will be considered with the new acquisition strategy. This contract extension will provide for a full range of modeling and simulation; design; development; production; modification; documentation; test and evaluation; delivery; upgrading, and updating of training systems software products for various customers. The SUBSKILLSNET- VISIT requirements consist of software and hardware deliverables that are primarily focused on submarine navigation and photo-centric virtual tour training systems for a variety of platform types. The proposed contract action is for software modifications, upgrades, and related deliverables for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Contract Specialist, Ricardo Elias, at ricardo.l.elias@navy.mil.
