AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in China Lake, California, is modifying an existing contract with AIL Systems, Inc./Technical Services Operations to increase the labor hours and associated material and data costs for both the remaining years of the basic three-year period and the two one-year option periods. This modification results from a need to expand the scope of validation efforts under the Navy Threat/Simulation Validation Program, which focuses on verifying Navy air defense and related threat simulators, models, and actual weapons systems. The increased labor hours are approximately 10,090 for the remaining basic period, 5,178 for the first option year, and 5,027 for the second option year. The validation work is critical because Department of Defense regulations require comprehensive validation of developed threat simulators, command and control systems, and related technologies before they can proceed to further production and testing. The original contract was awarded in January 2002 following a full and open competitive process initiated in April 2001. However, this modification is being awarded on a sole-source basis because AIL Systems was determined to be the only technically acceptable and responsible contractor capable of performing this specialized work. Additionally, re-soliciting the requirement would have negatively impacted the Navy’s validation program timeline. The contract remains a time-and-material, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity agreement, and the expanded effort addresses increased demands due to significant changes in defense simulator development programs. The Naval Air Warfare Center continues to rely on AIL Systems’ expertise to meet the Department of Defense and Office of the Secretary of Defense validation standards.

Full Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to award on an other than full and open competition basis, a modification to the above contract, awarded to AIL Systems, Inc./Technical Services Operations, 254 East Avenue K-4, Lancaster, CA 93555-4500, to increase the ceiling level for the second year and the third year of the basic 3 year period, and to also increase the ceiling level for the two one-year option periods. The contract was originally synopsized on a full and open competitive basis on April 10, 2001. Award of a time and material indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract was issued to AIL Systems, Inc./Technical Services Operations, on 25 January 2002 for a basic period of three years, with two one-year options. The procurement is for Validation of Navy air defense and air defense related threat simulations, models and actual threat weapons systems in support of the Navy Threat/Simulation Validation Program. The basic three-year period will be increased by approximately 10,090 labor hours plus material and data costs. Option period one will be increased by approximately 5,178 labor hours plus material and data costs, and option period two will be increased by approximately 5,027 labor hours plus material and data costs. The Navy Validation Coordination Office has received request for increased validation of systems due to dramatic changes in the defense simulator development programs. Each developed threat simulator, simulation, actual threat weapons system, model, surrogate, jammer, command and control system, EO, IR or UV system developed, is required by Department of Defense and Office of Secretary of Defense to be validated before further approvals can be made toward further production and testing. The reason this is being added to the contract on an other than full and open competition basis, is because AIL Systems, Inc., was determined to be the only technically acceptable/responsible offeror at the time of procurement and the timeframe for re-solicitation of the requirement would have a detrimental impact on the Navy Validation Program Office.
