- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-3, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source contract to the Applied Research Laboratory of the University of Texas in Austin (ARL:UT). NGA has maintained a long-term strategic relationship with ARL:UT to both maintain select Geophysical Modeling, Geodetic Surveys, and Precise Navigation and Timing Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS) operational capabilities, and to provide a stable, continuing advancement in the science of this critical area through academic research and practical application / implementation. � �ARL:UT is a not-for-profit organization that has been designated by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering (ASD RE) as a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).�As a Department of Defense (DoD) UARC, ARL:UT is required to conduct its operations pertaining to its work for DoD in accordance with the DoD UARC Management Plan (Copy Attached). As a consequence, the planned acquisition falls under FAR 6.302-3 and 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(3) Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services. This notice is in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2 and is not a request for competitive proposals.

A determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Update:�(U) The nature and description of this action is for inclusion of research, development, and engineering services supporting the NGA Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) system to the existing Foundation GEOINT Integrated Program Office (IPF) Earth Science Support IDIQ contract (HM0476-22-D-0001) with Applied Research Laboratory of the University of Texas at Austin (ARL:UT). �The original IPF Earth Science Support IDIQ contract with ARL:UT was awarded as a sole source contract (under FAR 6.302-3) in December of 2021, with a five-year Period of Performance ending 16 Decemeber 2026. �This action will increase the IDIQ ceiling and allow task orders to be awarded for systems engineering, operations and sustainment, and enhancement to GNSS capabilities. �
