The Government intends to extend the current Contract No. F41612-92-S0001 with Scheduled Airlines Traffic Offices (SATO), 1005 North Glebe Road, Arlington VA 22201, to provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision and other items or services necessary to perform management and operations of commercial travel offices located at Sheppard AFB, Altus AFB, and Vance AFB. The extension will be from 1 Aug 98 through 31 Dec 99, at which time the services are subsumed into the DOD-wide Commercial Travel Office (CTO) contract. The DOD-wide contract will be solicited under full and open competiiton. SATO is the one and only contractor who is in place and ARC-licensed to provide temporary services in a timely fashion without disruption until the requirement is rolled into the DOD-wide CTO contract. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, due to the very short period of performance. The point of contact is Ms. Rose Marie Fidelie, 940/676-2011. Notes 22, 26. (0170)
