J-LIFE CYCLE CONTRACTOR SUPPORT (LCCS) OF TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT SIMULATION (TES) TRAINING DEVICES The Government intends to negotiate and award to Lockheed Martin System Support and Training Services (LMSSTS), 804 Greenbrier Circle, Suite A1, Chesapeake, VA 23320-2624, an extension to the current TES LCCS contract. The extension will consist of a six month basic period and six one month options, which will provide a bridge contract, between the current contract and the competitively awarded follow-on Live Training (LT) contract. The current contract provides total LCCS for the family of TES training devices (e.g., Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems (MILES), Simulated Area Weapons Effects Radio Frequency (SAWE-RF)/MILES II, Air to Ground Engagement Systems (AGES) II, and Avenger). . TES training devices are deployed world-wide with maintenance sites located at a number of the facilities. LCCS for the TES devices will require repair of all assemblies, to include supply support; TES training support for the military users; support for Combat Training Center (CTC) exercises; maintenance support for Weapon Effects Signature Simulators (WESSs); and TES systems warehouse work at requiring site(s). The Contractor is required to have the capability to provide all maintenance and supply efforts for the TES family of systems assemblies, to maintain a fifteen (15) day turn-around-time (TAT). This support shall include both in-plant and on-site capabilities, to include supply support, to operate a world-wide maintenance activity capable of supporting the TES family of systems. A firm fixed price service contract is to be awarded. The period of performance for this extension will commence on 1 July 1999. This activity contemplates issuance of this contract pursuant to a justification and authorization which will cite LMSSTS as a unique source in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). LMSSTS has supported the TES LCCS program, under the current contract, since 1 June 1996 and they alone possess the unique capability to provide the necessary services for continued support of this program. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that could not be recovered through competition for such a short period of time. In addition, this contract provides support for various devices that require security clearances, which LMSSTS personnel currently possess. Therefore, award to any other source would result in unacceptable delay in fulfilling the Army's requirements. See Numbered Note 22***** Posted 04/13/99 (W-SN318592).
