53 -- Modification to contract SP0500-98-D-BP01, IPV support at NADEP-NI

The contract modification pertains to SP0500-98-D-BP01, which involves Industrial Prime Vendor (IPV) support for benchstock hardware at the Naval Aviation Depot North Island in San Diego, California. The Government plans to negotiate solely with the current contractor, Raytheon E-Systems, located in Falls Church, Virginia, to extend the contract’s period of performance by three months. This extension is intended to ensure uninterrupted supply of critical hardware during the transition period until the award of a subsequent follow-on contract, known as IPV GEN-II. This action is a presolicitation notice dated March 3, 2004, under the NAICS code 332722, which corresponds to precision machining. The modification maintains continuity of essential support services without competition due to the incumbent status of Raytheon E-Systems. The contract specialist overseeing this procurement is Thomas A. Pawlowski, who can be contacted for further details. The modification underscores the importance of seamless logistical support at a key naval aviation facility while the government finalizes arrangements for the new contract phase.
