A -- MODIFICATION, DSWA CONTRACT DNA001-96-G-0061-0001, BASIC ORDERING AGREEMENT FOR ARMS CONTROL AND VERIFICATION TECHNOLOGY, RDT&E POC David Staudt, Negotiator, (703) 325-9210, Edward L. Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028 This effort is part of Basic Ordering Agreement DNA001-96-G-0061 with DynMeridian. The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) intends to modify existing Task Order 0001 to extend the period of performance for certain tasks by 12 months. This Task Order was awarded to perform an "Anti-Personnel Landmine (APL) Technology Assessment and Negotiation Support for the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) and APL Control Program." The total cost man-year estimate for this modification is 2.4. DSWA plans to award a Task Order modification to DynMeridian under Basic Ordering Agreement DNA001-96-G-0061 that will allow DSWA to provide continued, uninterrupted, and ongoing support to the Office of Secretary of Defense. This modification will allow DSWA to support continued national interest in and negotiation support demands for the APL Ban that the US will continue to pursue in the Conference on Disarmament. DSWA considers the support time-sensitive, by proving support to US delegations to on-going and anticipated arms control discussions and is necessary for the informed deliberations of senior policy planners in both diplomatic and military communities concerning near-term contingencies and initiatives. DSWA believes that DynMeridian is the only source that possess the existing expertise to adapt this specific requirement to meet this program requirement within the time required by DSWA and available funding. Any other firm desiring consideration must fully identify its capability to perform this requirement. See Note 22. POC is David J. Staudt at (703) 325-9210.
