CEILING INCREASE TO CONTRACT N65236-02-D-3712

The contract involves a sole source modification to an existing agreement with Serco, Inc., located in Vienna, VA, for Air Traffic Control Systems Engineering, Installation, and Technical Support Services under contract number N65236-02-D-3712. This modification is being issued without a competitive proposal process because Serco is the only known provider capable of meeting the agency’s requirements through August 31, 2008. The modification under FAR 6.302-1 will increase the contract ceiling to ensure continued support for critical programs while a competitive follow-on contract is pursued. The contracting activity responsible is the SPAWAR Systems Center Charleston, with Calvin L. Howard serving as the contract specialist contact. The contract falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330, which pertains to Engineering Services, with a size standard of $25 million. This action supports the Department of Defense through the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic, located in North Charleston, South Carolina. The notice emphasizes that this is an administrative action rather than a request for proposals, reflecting an effort to maintain uninterrupted service from the current contractor while transitioning to a competitive procurement process in the future.
