A -- US ARMY SPACE AND STRATEGIC DEFENSE COMMAND (USASSDC) SUPPORT CONTRACT POC Robbie Phifer, Contract Specialist, (205) 955-1187, or W. L. Schick, (205) 955-1187. The Army is actively engaged in a number of ongoing endeavors which will produce a strategy for the execution of its Space, NMD and TMD activities. This strategy must be reflective of numerous statutory requirements, National Security implications, National Military strategies, Defense Planning Guidance, DOD policies, Army planning, and supportive policies, procedures, and decisions, all of which bear upon the determination, development, and integration of the requirements for capabilities of Army forces. Successful execution of Army Space, NMD and TMD activities requires the immediate application of in-depth knowledge and understanding of the current status of programs and all relevant factors, policies, and procedures and their interrelationships and subsequent impacts. The incumbent contractor is to provide continuing support to the USASSDC for Army Space, NMD and TMD planning, integration, and mission execution. The following are representative of the efforts to be undertaken: (1) Assessing Army capabilities to standardize and integrate missions, functions, and execution, (2) Developing analyses of the mission implications resulting from proposed initiatives, actions, policies and procedures, (3) Providing in-depth and integrated support to USASSDC efforts focused on Army Space, NMD and TMD modernization to include the status of science and technology development (4) Planning the scope of, conducting, and evaluating the results from assigned studies and assessments, and (5) Other assistance involving the pursuit of USASSDC program management. This action is a non-competitive follow-on to existing contract DASG60-92-C-0173, and is directed to Coleman Research Corporation in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. The contemplated contract will be a cost-plus-fixed-fee, level of effort with a basic period of performance of one year. The contract will contain a surge option, for additional level of effort to be performed within the basic period of performance, and a term option, for an additional twelve month period of performance. This action results from a higher than anticiated usage rate encountered under the existing contract and is required strictly to allow for effort currently underway to continue, pending completion of the planning for a competitive follow-on contract.
