- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate (AFRL/RW) anticipates awarding a sole source, cost type, indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), task order contract to The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), Atlanta, GA. The contracting activity for GTRI is the Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp, Georgia Institute of Technology, 505 Tenth St., NW, Atlanta, GA 30332-0420. The anticipated contract will provide for research and development support and other scientific and engineering effort. The task order contract will have a base ordering period of five (5) years and an associated estimated contract ceiling Not-to-Exceed $24.9M. The GTRI contract is anticipated to provide 5 years of uninterrupted essential research and development support and specialized engineering efforts. AFRL/RW has a requirement to maintain certain core capabilities at GTRI that it deems essential, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3), as implemented by FAR 6.302-3, Industrial Mobilization; Engineering, Development, or Research Capability; or Expert Services. This acquisition enables AFRL/RW to access established and essential engineering, research and development capabilities at GTRI in the following areas: (1) research, analysis, integration, systems engineering, development, flyable and non-flyable technology demonstrators, prototypes, test and evaluation, and rapid delivery of cutting-edge weapon solutions to the DoD to counter emerging threats affecting national security; (2) test and evaluation technology and matters associated with test range, lab and facility R&D as well as test range, lab and facility systems to implement new technology approaches integrated with or standing alone from classical test ranges, facilities and methods; (3) design hardware and/or software components, sub-systems, systems, platforms and tools that enable distributed and stand alone analysis for sensor/payload performance shall be integrated with guidance, targeting, fusing, air vehicle, propulsion, data links, airborne/ground networks and other sensors for test, evaluation and training. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. This solicitation is contemplated as a sole source procurement with GTRI; as this educational institution is a Federally-recognized University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) and has maintained a robust strategic relationship with the US Army and other Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD agencies since 1971. The purpose of this announcement is to provide information and to promote subcontracting opportunities, if a contract should result from this procurement action. Only US COMPANIES (NOFORN) will be entertained for subcontracting opportunities and potential subcontractors must possess a TOP SECRET facility clearance at the time of award. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact GTRI directly. In accordance with AFFARS 5301.9102, an ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition announcement. Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. AFFARS Clause 5352.201-9101 Ombudsman (Aug 2005) will be incorporated into all contracts awarded under this BAA. The Ombudsman is as follows: Barbara Gehrs, Director of Contracting (AFRL/PK), (937) 904-4407, barbara.gehrs@us.af.mil.
