R -- MISSILE DEFENSE SCIENTIFIC ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (SETA) POC Mr. Eric Ottinger, Contracting Officer, BMDO/CTN, (703) 604-4622, CBD Reference Number: BMDO 00-05 The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) intends to award a follow-on contract on a sole source basis to Computer Sciences Corporation, Incorporated (CSC), for continuing scientific, engineering, and technical assistance (SETA) support to the National Missile Defense (NMD) Joint Program Office (JPO). The anticipated period of performance is thirty months starting July 2000. The estimate for Direct Productive Labor Hours (DPLH) is 1,650,000 DPLH. During this period, in support of the NMD Lead System Integrator (LSI) contract, the NMD JPO will accomplish a Deployment Readiness Review (DRR) and a Defense Acquisition Board review. If the President directs deployment of the NMD System after the DRR, deployment planning and execution will proceed on a very expedited schedule. Due to the risks and difficulties inherent in the expedited schedule and the nature of the support provided by CSC, no break in continuity will be acceptable during this period. Based on its extensive and comprehensive experience with the NMD LSI program, only CSC can provide the continuity necessary to ongoing NMD JPO efforts without unacceptable delays for staffing, familiarization, and training. See numbered Note 22.***** Posted 01/06/00 (W-SN413608). (0006)
