AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Navy, through the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department in Philadelphia, plans to contract with Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc. (ACEs) for additional contractor support services to address emergent requirements at the Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (NAVSCOLEOD). ACEs is the current provider of education and training services for NAVSCOLEOD, delivering instruction to military and civilian personnel, as well as managing curriculum maintenance and development related to Explosive Ordnance Disposal courses. These services are conducted at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Due to an increase in demand beyond the initially anticipated level under the existing Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, additional support services are necessary to meet NAVSCOLEOD's requirements over the coming year. The contracting office intends to pursue this expansion on a sole source basis, as ACEs is deemed uniquely qualified and currently responsible for all EOD education and training, making it functionally impractical to separate the newly required support from the ongoing contract. This is emphasized by the need for exclusive access to shared classrooms, facilities, and specialized equipment necessary for training continuity and to avoid delays in a critical mission area. Although this notice serves to inform potential interested parties, it is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The government will consider responses within 45 days to determine whether to open a competitive procurement but reserves full discretion over this decision. A competitive follow-on solicitation is planned for the future once the immediate additional requirements are addressed.

Full Description

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia intends to contract with Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc. (ACEs) for additional contractor support services in support of emergent requirements being experienced by the Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal (NAVSCOLEOD). ACEs is currently under contract to provide education and training services to NAVSCOLEOD in which they provide instruction of military and civilian personnel, related instructional support, curriculum maintenance, and curriculum development for course in the areas of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). These services are performed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The resources for this effort as currently required by NAVSCOLEOD over the next year indicates the previously estimated level of support services under the basic Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract will not be sufficient. As such, additional contractor support services are required in order to meet the higher than anticipated demand for contractor support. NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with ACEs for additional contractor support services. This firm is considered the only source capable of providing additional services which meet all of the Navy’s requirements by August 2012 as they are the current contractor responsible for all Explosive Ordnance Disposal education and training in support of NAVSCOLEOD. During the period of time for which the additional services are required, a competitive follow-on solicitation will be released. Furthermore, it would not be functionally possible to segregate the additionally required contractor support services from the performance of the existing services. This can be easily recognized when considering this contract’s functional area of training. It is not feasible to have a different contractor share the same classrooms, facilities, and equipment that is already being used by ACEs. Further, only ACEs can provide the required additional contractor support services having all the unique/relevant skills needed to ensure that there are no unacceptable delays for this critical task. Interested parties may identify their interest and prove their capability to respond to this requirement for additional services. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received within forty-five (45) days after date of this notice will be considered by the Government. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for information received.
