59 -- AN/SQQ-89(V)15/A(V)15 ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE COMBAT SYSTEM DESIGN AGENT SERVICES SOL N00024-00-R-6308 POC Sharon Rustemier, (703)602-0951 EXT. 639 The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to award a sole source contract modification to Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems (LMIS), Inc., Post Office Box 4840, Syracuse, NY 13221-4840. This modification will provide for approximately 110,251 man-days (MDs) of support to the AN/SQQ-89 and related subsystems. Tasking under this modification will include, but not be limited to, technical design agent tasks (i.e., systems, hardware and software engineering), test and evaluation, installation/checkout/test/repair/refurbishment, logistic support, equipment refurbishment, equipment maintenance, training equipment support, and lifecycle support. This contract modification will be negotiated pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The Government has determined that it is necessary to award the proposed effort sole-source to the incumbent contractor (LMIS) based on the increased cost and risk to the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 development program that would result from a competition for the FY01-02 effort. Extending the current LMIScontract period-of-performance will allow for major AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 milestone activities to occur under the same contract, ensuring an uninterrupted development effort. In addition, extension of the current contract will allow concurrent competition of the production and design agent contracts (next planned for FY02) and subsequent award to a single contractor. To meet this requirement, the current LM design agent contract requires extension through 08/30/02 to both parallel the current production contract and ensure a smooth transition of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 design to the FY02 contractor. No other sources have the technical qualifications or the necessary resources to perform the work described herein in the timeframe necessary; nor will any other services satisfy the Navy's requirements.
