- Description
- Statutory Authority for Other Than Full and Open Competition: 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. Estimated Modification Award Date: 8 September 2017 Contract Number: FA8723-16-D-0001 Synopsis: The AN/FPS-108 COBRA DANE Radar, located at Eareckson Air Station on Shemya, Alaska (AK), was originally developed and fielded in the mid-1970s and modernized in 1993 under the COBRA DANE System Modernization (CDSM) program. The CDSM program replaced many of the radar subsystems and established its current baseline system configuration and performance. CDSM was upgraded in 2004 to support the operations of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Test Bed, including Integrated Ground Testing (IGT), Integrated Flight Testing (IFT), and potential Contingency Operations. The CDSM upgrade for GMD is also referred to as the COBRA DANE Upgrade (CDU); however, reference to COBRA DANE includes both the CDSM baseline and the CDU. The two missions supported by COBRA DANE are: · Missile Defense (added as part of the CDU) · Space Surveillance (legacy CDSM Mission) The COBRA DANE Bridge Contract encompasses all critical functions related to weapon system readiness. The contract requires non-personal services to cover operations, O-level maintenance, I-level maintenance, depot-level sustainment, and modification requirements for the COBRA DANE radar. The contract requires exclusive operations and maintenance of site equipment and facilities, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year, even in the event of a national emergency, to include declared or undeclared state of war. The Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems Division (AFLCMC/HBQK) proposes to execute, by means of other than full and open competition, an extension of the ordering period for one (1) year from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 December 2018 for the existing COBRA DANE Bridge Contract (FA8723-16-D-0001) with Raytheon Technical Services Company, LLC (CAGE Code: 09XR3), 1330 Inverness Dr., Ste. 200, Colorado Springs, CO 80910. The value of this extension is estimated at $100M. Extending the ordering period is required to give the COBRA DANE Program Office the ability to effectively sustain the COBRA DANE system for current mission requirements as well as provide on-going sustainment services should there be a schedule slip in the award date for the ongoing COBRA DANE Re-Compete Contract (CDRC) source selection. CDRC offerors are advised HBQK does not expect the issuance of this extension of the ordering period to affect the award date of the upcoming CDRC. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 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; specifically, FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), the services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delay in fulfilling the agency's mission.
