A -- SCIENTIFIC ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SUPPORT SOL DNA001-95-C-0002 POC Jennifer Bertuna, Negotiator, (703) 325-9368, Edward Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028. This effort is a sole source modification under the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) Scientific Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contract with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The purpose of this effort is to allow funding for Phase II of the Stand-off Sensing Study and based on DSWA approved results, the preparation of a detailed technology road map and investment plan. In addition, SAIC will provide support for issues in relation to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The reason this effort is not being competed is that the SETA contractor already in place has a unique background and experience in developing arms control community views on stand-off sensing. The work will be to synthesize an optimum investment strategy from the scenarios and essential elements of information validated in community workshops during the Remote Sensing Study. SAIC produced this data. Other contractors would need to re-construct the data and methodologies before they could be in a position to start optimization of an investment strategy. Therefore, it is not feasible to compete this effort. For further information, contact Jennifer Bertuna at (703) 325-9368. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. As of 31 May 96, Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web. Information will include this synopsis and more.
