AIR 5.4.1 Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Patuxent River, Maryland, plans to award a sole source contract to MIL Corporation to continue providing management and technical IT support services for the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Infrastructure Division. This contract serves as a bridge to the current contract held by MIL Corporation to ensure uninterrupted support until a competitive follow-on contract is awarded. The initial period of performance is expected to begin in July 2018, lasting six months, with two additional three-month option periods. The work will primarily be performed at Patuxent River, Maryland. This contract award will be made under the authority allowing negotiation with only one responsible source due to the specialized nature of the services that cannot be satisfied by any other provider. It is important to note that this announcement is a notice of intent, not a request for proposals, and all communications regarding this effort must be directed via email to the designated contracting specialist. The contract is identified under solicitation number N00421-18-C-0026 and relates to the support of the Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test Department within the Naval Air Warfare Center.
