R -- MARKET RESEARCH FOR ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES SOL n/a DUE 031600 POC Daniel R Mahan, Contract Specialist, (805) 989-1915 NAWCWD Point Mugu plans on extending the Period of Performance (POP) for a pair of multiple award contracts, originally awarded on 01 September 1998, to Comptek Federal Systems and Veridian, for an additional two years. The contracts were awarded for $28,698,246 (536,072 man-hours) and $26,669,267 (536,072 man-hours), respectively. This requirement was originally synopsized on 16 October 1997 as follows: " The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division intends to contract on a Cost Plus Fixed Fee basis for technical engineering support services for Electronic Combat Systems and Warfare Systems necessary to perform Electronic Warfare (EW) missions as assigned. The EW Division is responsible for performing program definition, development, test, and evaluation (DT&E); perform requirements definition, research, design, development, prototype fabrication, assembly, manufacture, integration and testing related to Intelligence and Mission Planning Systems; production support; operational support; in-service engineering; and fleet support related to radar warning receivers (RWR); emitter targeting; missile warning; electronic surveillance; electronic countermeasures (ECM); electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM); electronic support measures (ESM); command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) countermeasures; Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) systems; EA-6B systems; as well as Electronic Combat (EC), Radar Frequency (RF), Electro Optical (EO), infrared (IR), and laboratory support systems. Estimated period of performance is 01 September 1998 for two years with no option with an estimated level of effort of 134,000 hours per year anticipated. It is anticipated the issue date for RFP N68936-98-R-0006 will be on or about 31 October 1997 with a closing date 45 days after date of issue. The requirement is unrestricted. This solicitation will be made available electronically on the Internet at http://www.nawcwpns.navy.mil/~contract/rfp-nawc.htm. Firms unable to obtain the solicitation off the Internet will be issued a copy of the solicitation upon request." The RFP was posted at the NAWCWD web site for solicitations. When the RFP closed only COMPTEK and Veridian submitted offers. Due to the limited usage of these contracts, the lack of interest in the first competition and the cost of re-competing the requirement, it is considered to be in the best interest of the Government to extend the POPs of the current contracts without further competition. However, the Government is using this synopsis to further test the marketplace. If there is further interest in this requirement, please notify this activity within 30 days of appearance of this notice. Posted 01/31/00 (W-SN420217). (0031)
