CEILING INCREASE TO CONTRACT N65236-02-D-3712

This contract involves a sole source modification to Air Traffic Control Systems Engineering, Installation, and Technical Support Services provided by Serco, Inc., located in Vienna, VA, under contract N65236-02-D-3712. The modification is being issued without competitive bidding because Serco is the only known contractor capable of meeting the agency's requirements until April 30, 2008. The purpose of this modification is to increase the contract ceiling, allowing adequate funding for the eventual award of a competitive follow-on contract. The contract is managed by the SPAWAR Systems Center Charleston, with Calvin L. Howard serving as the contracting specialist. The contract falls under the Department of Defense, specifically through Niwc Atlantic, and is associated with the NAIC Code 541330, which corresponds to engineering services, with a small business size standard of $25 million. This action is consistent with FAR 6.302-1, which governs sole source procurements when only one source is available. The contract modification was publicly noted on April 20, 2007, and the office responsible is located in North Charleston, SC. This contract adjustment ensures continuity of service while preparing for a future competitive procurement process.
