- Description
- Sources Sought Notice The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source bridge contract for contract N62645-12-C-4075 under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (One source) to Leidos Inc., 11951 Freedom Drive, Reston, VA. This requirement is for research and development support services in support of ongoing research protocols at the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratories (NSMRL), located in Groton, CT. The award will be for a base period of 6-months, with three (3), 1-month option periods. Delay in receipt of a finalized and complete requirements package from the customer has resulted in an inability to be able to fully compete this requirement and have the award made prior to the expiration of the legacy contract, N62645-12-C-4075, on August 31, 2017. In order to prevent a break in the critical services that contract N62645-12-C-4075 provides, a 6 month bridge contract with 3, 1-month option periods is being put into place. Leidos, Inc. is the incumbent contractor for N62645-12-C-4075 and is the only company that has the capability, the resources, and the expertise to provide these critical services in time to prevent a costly break in services. The legacy contract was previously competed under full and open competition. The purpose of the bridge contract award is to allow the new award to be competed in the same way, under full and open competition, based on market research conducted in January, 2017. Leidos retains the key personnel from the legacy contract. Leidos is the only company that has the capability, the resources, and the expertise to provide these critical services in time to prevent a costly break in critical R&D support services. If capable sources are not identified through this notice, NMLC intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (One source) to Leidos Inc., 11951 Freedom Drive, Reston, VA, to provide the described requirement. This sources sought notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to perform the required work. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source contract. Capability statements are due by 2:00 PM Local Time, 03 August 2017.
