CEILING INCREASE AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE EXTENSION TO CONTRACT N65236-01-D-6813

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) Charleston plans to issue a sole source modification to contract N64236-01-D-6813 with Northrop Grumman/PRB Systems, Inc. This modification will increase the contract ceiling by approximately $4 million to support continued systems engineering, software development, integration, engineering, training, and configuration management services. The modification is intended to extend the period of performance and provide sufficient funding to facilitate the award of a competitive follow-on contract in the future. This action is authorized under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement when justified by specific circumstances. The current contract involves work primarily under the North American Industry Classification System code 541330, which covers engineering services, with a company size standard capped at $23 million. The contracting office handling this modification is located in North Charleston, SC, under the Department of Defense's Niwc Atlantic office. The point of contact for this action is Deborah D. McNeely, Contract Negotiator at SPAWAR Charleston, who can be reached via email or phone. This notice serves as an official intent to increase the contract ceiling and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals.
