R -- ENGINEERING SUPPORT OF TRADE STUDIES, MISSION THREAT ANALYSIS, AND VULNERABILITY/SURVIVABILITY ANALYSIS. POC Ms. Chris Marshall, Contract Specialist, (301) 342-1825, X105 Mr. William Aumand, Contracting Officer, (301) 342-1825, X108 E-MAIL: MarshallCF@navair.navy.mil, MarshallCF@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD plans to acquire on a sole source Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis an increase of the level of effort under contract N62269-90-C-0403 with SURVICE Engineering Corporation. This effort shall continue the provision of trade studies, mission threat analysis, and vulnerability/survivability analysis in support of the Concepts, Analysis, Evaluation and Planning Department (4.10) and the Survivability Division (4.1.8) at NAWCAD, Patuxent River, MD. The purpose of this Sole Source procurement is to increase the level of effort that is needed to maintain current contract initiatives; provide flexibility for anticipated additional support requirements during the NAVAIR TEAM transition/competency alignment period. The level of effort is estimated at 27,700 labor hours. This acquisition will be negotiated on a sole source basis with SURVICE Engineering Corporation, 1003 Old Philadelphia Road Suite 103, Aberdeen, MD 21001 under the authority of FAR6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement). See Numbered Note 22. The SURVICE Engineering Corporation is the only practical source for providing the necessary continuation of technical services Code 4.10 and Code 4.1.8 without a break in the support effort that SURVICE Engineering is currently providing. The Government's minimum need for the continuation of effort can only be accomplished reasonably and without impairing continued support through this award. Only SURVICE Engineering has the library of software and technical documents, and the key personnel necessary to continue the support services currently being performed. It is not possible for any other potential source to become familiar enough with the taskings to sustain this workload without a break in service. Failure to award this continuation of work will seriously restrict the ability of Code 4.10 and Code 4.1.8 to respond to our sponsors' needs during the recompetition. These are continuing tasks and are time sensitive. There are not other sources capable of providing the uninterrupted support. Posted 09/10/98 (W-SN247907). (0253)
