- Description
- 55 CONS/LGCZ, Offutt AFB, NE intends to extend the current USAMS II Multiple Award Contract (MAC), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a twelve-months POP using the sole source procedures under authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements due to security requirements and large requirements for highly skilled workforce in USSTRATCOM mission areas. Task Orders under the USAMS II MAC IDIQ provide advisory and assistance services for USSTRATCOM, its components, and associate agencies. The six USAMS II MAC IDIQ Prime holders compete competitively on each new task order. The six USAMS II MAC IDIQ Prime holders are: - Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH): FA4600-08-D-9000 - MacAulay-Brown, Inc. (MacB): FA4600-08-D-9001 - Client/Server Software Solutions, Inc. (CSSS): FA4600-08-D-9002 - Exelis, Inc. (EXELIS): FA4600-08-D-9003 - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC): FA4600-08-D-9004 - CACI Technologies, Inc. (CACI): FA4600-08-D-9005 The USSTRATCOM Systems and Missions Support (USAMS) advisory and assistance services (A&AS) contract supports all missions and requirements of USSTRATCOM, their subordinate and supporting agencies, and component commands, as well as all supported organizations and agencies. These efforts include the Joint Functional Component Commands (JFCC) for: Space and Global Strike (SGS); Integrated Missile Defense (IMD); Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR); Network Warfare (NW); and Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction; the Joint Task Forces (JTF), the Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA), Information Operations (IO), global C4ISR, strategic war planning and execution, strategic analyses and assessments, Space Control, Space Support, Force Enhancement, and Force Application mission areas. The command is responsible for both early warning of and defense against missile attack and long-range conventional attacks. The command is charged with deterring and defending against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. USSTRATCOM has been assigned the following mission areas since the award of the USAMS II contract: Cyberspace Operations, Strategic Deterrence, Joint Electronic Warfare, and Targeting and Analysis. The evolving responsibilities of USSTRATCOM may require additional missions/requirements not currently identified. Additionally, the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) uses the USAMS contract to support their A&AS requirements. Support shall include all USSTRATCOM-related systems such as: the Integrated Strategic Planning Analysis Network (ISPAN); USSTRATCOM C2 systems; Command infrastructure; common-user and dedicated satellite control networks; the Space Surveillance Network; the Missile Warning systems; current and future operational spacecraft programs; National/Ballistic Missile Defense Systems; Computer Network Defense and Attack (CND/A); current and future commercial programs; a family of tactical space systems; national space systems; distributive C2 nodes/networks; and space launch vehicles to include new generation expendable and reusable launch vehicles and the overall integration of the various mission areas Concept of Operations (CONOPS). The USAMS effort also addresses intelligence, intelligence-related, and information assurance systems. USSTRATCOM requires quick response competitive contract vehicles able to supply the highly skilled services described above in large quantities. The follow-on effort source selection will not be completed by the expiration date of the current contract ordering period, 31 January 2014. The 12-month extension allows for the extension of USAMS II MAC IDIQ to 30 Sep 2016, extending the ordering period to 31 January 2015 per 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C 253 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Will Satisfy Agency Requirement). The rationale for this request is due to a lengthy acquisition review cycle above the base level exceeding the established milestones. Task orders will be allowed to continue performance for 20 months after contract expiration, until 30 Sep 2016 for the six Prime holders. This allows time to complete the follow-on source selection. This notice is neither a request for a competitive proposal or a solicitation for offerors. A determination by the Government to not compete this requirement is based on responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice should not be construed as a commitment by the Government. If a firm can provide the USAMS II MAC IDIQ services at full performance starting 1 Jan 2014, provide a capability package to the Contracting Officer and a copy to the Contract Specialist by the response date, 7 Oct 2013.
