18 -- Period of Performance Extension to CY06 Contractor Development Support for the Operational Control Segment (OCS)

The Navstar Global Positioning Systems Wing (GPSW) intends toextend the period of performance (sole-source) for the current Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF) CLIN 0023 contractor development support effort by approximately 2 additional months via modification to contract F04701-96-C-0025. This support is needed to deliver the new Architecture Evolution Plan (AEP) and Launch/Early Orbit, Anomaly Resolution and Disposal Operations (LADO) satellite control systems to operations. This support includes fixing software problem reports (PRs) and watch items (WITs) which lead to new software versions being delivered. Transition activities such as rehearsal preparations, scenario based testing and database verification exercises are also included. This effort supports activities that take place between the end of the formal qualification test (FQT)/system test, throughout transition, and up to the declaration of a new initial operational capability (IOC). GPS is a navigational radio positioning, time transfer, and Nuclear Detonation (NUDET) Detection System. The radio positioning and time transfer system provides a signal-in-space environment, which enables GPS users to precisely determine three-dimensional position, velocity, and time. Again, the current period of performance will be extended to cover the period from 1 Jan 2007 to 28 Feb 2007. See note 22. NAICS 334511 ? Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, size standard 750 employees.
