- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE - THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD TO JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY/APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY (JHU/APL) TO ASSIST THE OFFICE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER WITH MISSION CRITICAL SUPPORT. WHS Acquisition Directorate intends to issue a task order under contract HQ0034-13-D-0003 to JHU/APL on a sole source basis under authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(3) as implemented in FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii): "To establish or maintain an essential engineering, research, or development capability to be provided by an education or other non-profit institution or a federally funded research and development center." This task order will be awarded to JHU/APL in its capacity as a Department of Defense University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). UARCs enable DoD to establish and maintain long-term strategic relations with selected universities, to conduct essential research, development, and scientific and engineering expertise in core competency areas important to DoD. JHU is the only UARC that specializes in air defense, strike and power projection, submarine security, antisubmarine warfare, strategic systems evaluation, and command and control. There is no other UARC that specializes in these areas other than JHU. Therefore, no other UARC except for JHU will be able to meet this requirement. This task order is intended to fulfill the requirement for research, development and analysis support services in the day-to-day operations of the DoD CIO National Leadership Command Capabilities (NLCC) Management Office. In addition, the objective of this effort is to support the DoD CIO requirement with process modernization activities and initiatives to include research, engineering, strategic test and evaluation, and technical support. The proposed effort has been reviewed to ensure that it falls within the special competencies of the research foundation, and within the overall scope of the IDIQ. WHS Acquisition Directorate anticipates issuing a task order under its IDIQ contract with JHU/APL (reference #HQ0034-13-D-0003) to meet the mission critical needs of DoD CIO. The performance period will be for a base of 12 months, and two (2) 12 month option periods. The anticipated amount of this action is approximately $16M. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties may identify their capabilities with respect to this requirement by 15 March 2016, at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, no further information will be accepted after this 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 be considered solely for the purpose for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not pay or reimburse for any submissions. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NCIS) code is 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services).
