59 -- ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS DUE 041499 POC Moira Eiserloh, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-4121 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, California intends to modify contract N68936-94-D-0079 for electrical supplies to extend the current period of performance by four (4) months (May 7, 1999 through September 6, 1999) in order to allow sufficient time to permit the award of a competitive follow-on contract. The total estimated price for the contract remains $2,379,510.00. The extension will permit uninterrupted service in the electronic delivery order flow for electrical supplies under the Small Procurement Electronic Data Interchange (SPEDI) program. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(b)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy the Agency's needs. SPEDI contracts provide desk-top ordering of supplies using electronic data interchange to create a paperless process. SPEDI contracts require a technical ramp-up phase (defined as that period of time following contract award during which the contractor prepares for contract operation, including technical certification. This ramp-up period typically runs 60-90 days before a contractor can start performance.) The incumbent contractor, California Electric Supply is the only contractor currently certified and has already completed the technical ramp-up phase. Accordingly, California Electric Supply is the only source who can meet the Government's short term need. See Note(s): 22. Posted 04/15/99 (I-SN320853). (0105)
