58 -- AIR MOBILITY COMMAND C2 IPS ONSITE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT POC 2nd Lt. Louis Orndorff, Contract Negotiator, 617-271-8679. The Government intends to award, on a sole source basis for the Air Mobility Command (AMC) Command and Control Information Processing System (C2IPS) program, a contract for on-site software troubleshooting, node system management and maintenance at up to 85 Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard locations worldwide, and at a centralized system support help desk. AMC C2IPS provides automated information processing and communications interface support to a variety of AMC organizations as well as USAF combat forces. This is a concurrent task to the system development effort awarded 12 Dec 88 to Computer Sciences Corporation, Moorestown, NJ. Help desk personnel must have intimate knowledge of the system as developed and established contacts with system developers. Contractor personnel will be required to accompany deployable nodes when and where deployed, and assistance may be required for 24-hour notice deployment to Air Force crisis locations worldwide. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Computer Science Corporation (CSC) using other than full and open competition procedures pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1. CSC designed and developed the C2IPS system and is currently the only source with the requisite technical knowledge and capability required to meet the Government's requirements for system support. The Government intends to award this action as a supplemental agreement to contract F19628-92-D-0001 under which CSC is currently providing the same type of support. The proposed contract action is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract under which the Government may order services as required during the period of Jan 1996 through Dec 1998. Nothwithstanding the above, all responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the agency. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0355)
