Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) intends to solicit a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract modification for Interim Contractor Logistic Support (ICLS) Services that require the contractor to provide the unit with personnel to support maintenance and repair of the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) system. The ICLS support is required until such time as the technical manuals are provided and parts are provisioned allowing for organic support. This action will be incorporated, via contract modification, in the current JAB contract, W56HZV-16-C-0028.  The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for this effort is Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2304(c) (1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” Specifically, FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) states, “Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.” The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, DRS Sustainment Systems Inc. (CAGE: 98255), under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to issue a letter request for proposal directly to DRS, which will not be posted to the Government Point of Entry.

The estimated period of performance is Sep 2020 – Jun 2021.

The primary point of contact at ACC-DTA for this action is Christopher Miklasz and all questions or comments shall be sent via email to Mr. Miklasz at [email protected].
