D -- CONSOLIDATION OF REQUIREMENTS-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES SOL 076&&&-9807-0001 POC Barbara J. Trujillo, Contract Specialist (520) 538-7472; Sandra K. Wilde, Contracting Officer (520) 533-2232 (Site Code DAAB07) This special notice is provided to inform industry of a determination by the U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Command, Fort Huachuca, Arizona to consolidate some of their requirements into an "omnibus" contract. In an effort to minimize the impact of the Army's and USAISEC's changing environment, with downsizing, resource decrements, changes in acquisition regulations, and other internal and external constraints, the USAISEC commander and his command group determined the consolidation to be in the best interest of USAISEC's mission. At this time, the following requirements will be consolidated: Information Mission Area (IMA) (contract #DAEA32-95-D-0001, Science Applications International Corporation); Technical Integration Engineering Support (TIES) (contracts #DAAB07-98-D-0004, 0005, and 0006; Frontier Applied Sciences, Inc., EER Systems, Inc., Research Analysis and Maintenance, Inc.); Quality Assurance, Acceptance Testing and Test and Evaluation (QAATTE) (contracts #DAAB07-97- D-0002 and 0003; Correa Enterprises and FC Business Systems); and Information Security Engineering (INFOSEC) (contract #DAAB07-97-D-0001, J. G. Van Dyke and Associates). USAISEC is currently in the initial acquisition planning of this consolidation in coordination with the Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Acquisition Center and our legal advisors to ensure that all options and issues are thoroughly considered. Additionally, the small business program will remain a priority with USAISEC and the acquisition strategy will be focused towards allowing the maximum participation for small businesses. Further notices will be published as the acquisition strategy is established. Milestones are not established at this time, but to ensure continuity of servies, we are projecting award of the omnibus contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999.
