The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department, intends to solicit on an other than full and open competition basis a requirement for warfighting studies and analysis support services in support of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment Directorate, J-8, The Pentagon, Washington, DC. The procurement is being processed through other than full and open competition pursuant to the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Addx Corporation, a service-disabled, veteran-owned, small business. Performance of the required services requires that all contractor personnel possess a current Top Secret (TS) Clearance based on a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) completed within the last 5 years with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility and the contractor to possess and maintain a Top Secret (TS) facility clearance from the Defense Security Service. The resultant contract will be a twelve-month cost-plus-fixed-fee type, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. The estimated level of effort is 42,186 man-hours. The required services do not meet the FAR definition of commercial item and as such, the government does not intend to use FAR Part 12. This is an interim action and the resultant contract will provide the requiring activity with the necessary services while the contracting office solicits and awards a contract or contracts through competitive procedures. Addx Corporation is currently providing the required services under task order N00178-08-D-5318-FG01 and is the only known source that can reasonably be expected to continue to perform these services before the follow-on contract(s) is/are awarded, without incurring unacceptable delay, added cost, duplication of effort, and potentially jeopardizing the success of J8 requirements. The solicitation will be made available electronically, upon its release, at www.neco.navy.mil. Interested parties are solely responsible for monitoring the above mentioned website for posting of the solicitation and any amendments thereto. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by 22 June 2012. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals. However, the Government will consider information received by 22 June 2012. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for information submitted in response to this notice. The NAICS code is 541330 and the small business size standard is $14M. Issuance of a competitive solicitation for the continuation of these services beyond the contract resulting from the instant sole source acquisition is anticipated around 1 November 2012. For questions regarding this announcement, please contact Sean McGinley, Code 290.2D, at (215) 697-5025, or at [email protected].
