CEILING INCREASE TO CONTRACT N65236-02-D-6827

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston plans to issue a sole source modification to the existing contract N65236-02-D-6827 with Mitretek Systems Inc., located in Falls Church, VA. This action is based on the Federal Acquisition Regulation provision FAR 6-302-1, which allows for sole source contracting because Mitretek Systems is the only known contractor capable of meeting the specific service requirements. The modification will involve a ceiling increase of approximately $2.4 million, reflecting an expansion of the contract's funding limit. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals but rather an intent to proceed with the modification to the incumbent contractor. The contract is associated with the Department of Defense, specifically the NIWC Atlantic office situated in North Charleston, SC. The applicable North American Industry Classification System code for this contract is 541330, with a size standard of $23 million. Responses or inquiries concerning this notice are due by June 13, 2003, and can be directed to Calvin L. Howard, the contract specialist overseeing this requirement, via email or phone. The primary purpose of this modification is to increase the contract funding ceiling to support continued services under the current agreement.
