- Description
- The United States Army intends to extend Engility Corporation's contract W91CRB-13-C-0021 by 12 months on a sole source basis to accommodate expected increases. This will allow performance to continue until 31 December 2020 to support Operation Resolute Support in Afghanistan for the United States Army. A new competitive contract for these services will be competed while this extension is in place. A Justification and Approval document will be prepared for the extension under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Specifically, this extension falls under paragraph (a)(2)(iii)(A) where contracts for the Department of Defense may be deemed available only from the original source for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in the substantial duplication of costs that is not expected to be recovered by any competition savings. This contract is for highly trained Law Enforcement Professionals (LEPs) to instruct and facilitate U.S. forces to understand, identify, target, penetrate, interdict, and suppress criminal-like, insurgent network enterprises and special group criminals. This knowledge is then shared with Host Nation Security Forces. If this contract is not extended, there will be a significant duplication of costs. A 90-day transition period would be required to allow for the setup of a Country Management Team in Afghanistan and the current requirement for the recruitment and training of 58 LEPs. Bringing back the current OCONUS personnel and redeploying 58 personnel to Afghanistan will be costly. The administrative costs of issuing Letters of Authorization, obtaining clearances, processing personnel through Fort Bliss, issuing equipment, and processing arming documents are substantial, as are reprocurement costs. This notice of intent is not a request for information. However, all capability statements received will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses of 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 for this extension. A new contract will be competed for this effort and begin full performance in January 2021. E-mail responses to Tara Casey at tara.l.casey.civ@mail.mil and include information about experience and corporate resources to indicate capability of providing these specialized services in a combat zone starting 01 January 2020. Responses relating to this extension must be received by 10:00 AM EDT on 23 September 2019.
