Ceiling Increase and Extension of Contract N65236-97-D-3807

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston plans to issue a sole source contract modification to ARINC Engineering Services, based in Annapolis, MD, under Contract N65236-97-D-3807. This modification aims to provide continued technical engineering and integration support services. The action will increase the contract ceiling by $879,992 and extend the contract period through November 30, 2002, ensuring adequate time to competitively procure a follow-on contract. This sole source approach is justified under FAR 6.302-1, as ARINC Engineering Services is the only known provider with the required expertise for these services during this timeframe. The contract falls under the North American Industry Classification System code 541330, with a size standard of $23 million. This notice serves solely to inform and does not constitute a request for proposals or competition. The contracting activity is managed by Niwc Atlantic within the Department of Defense, located in North Charleston, South Carolina. The modification facilitates continuity of essential support for the agency while enabling a transition to a competitive procurement process in the near future.
