J -- CONSOLIDATED CONTRACTOR MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLY SUPPORT SERVICES (CCMSS)` The Government intends to negotiate and award, to Pulau Electronics Corporation, 12423 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826, an extension to the current CCMSS contract. The extension will consist of a six month basic period and two three month options, which will provide a bridge contract, between the current contract and the competitively awarded follow-on contract, for CCMSS for various training devices. The current contract provides total CCMSS for the following training devices, which are located worldwide at multiple Army installations and activities: Army Training Battle Simulation System (ARTBASS), Morse Mission Trainer (MMT), Signal Intelligence/ Electronic Warfare (SIGINT/EW) Equipment Operator Simulator (SEOS), Corps Battle Simulation (CBS), Brigade/Battalion Simulation (BBS), Basic Electronic Maintenance Trainer (BEMT), Basic Morse Mission Trainer (BMMT), JANUS, Guardrail Maintenance Trainer (GRMT), Non-Communication Signal Recognition Trainer (NCSRT), G-2 Workstations, All Source Analysis System (ASAS), Trailblazer/Quickfix Maintenance Trainer (TQMT), and Un-Manned Aerial Vehicle Hunter Training Device (UAVHTD). These devices are used to provide initial and sustainment training to Officer, Warrant Officer, Noncommissioned Officer and Enlisted personnel. A firm fixed price service contract is to be awarded. The contractor shall provide total CCMSS which includes labor, maintenance, materials, supply support, and engineering services to ensure a minimum 90% availability rate within a specified repair turn around time. The period of performance for this extension will commence on 1 April 1997. This activity contemplates issuance of this contract pursuant to a justification and authorization which will cite Pulau Electronics Corporation as a unique source in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Pulau Electronics Corporation has supported the CCMSS program, under the current contract, since 1 October 1991 and they alone possess the unique capability to provide the necessary services for continued support of this program. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that could not be recovered through competition for such a short period of time. In addition, this contract provides support for various devices that require security clearances, which Pulau Electronics Corporation personnel currently possess. Therefore, award to any other source would result in unacceptable delay in fulfilling the Army's requirements. See Numbered Note 22
