Comprehensive Cost and Requirements System (CCaRS) Support

The Air Force Test Center at Eglin Air Force Base intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Integrated Data Systems (IDS) for the Comprehensive Cost and Requirements System (CCaRS) and related support services. The contract is expected to be awarded by October 1, 2013, with a base period extending through September 30, 2014, and includes four additional one-year option periods. This procurement will be conducted under the authority that allows contracting with only one responsible source, as no other suppliers or services will meet the agency’s specific requirements. Consequently, this notice is not a solicitation for competition, no request for proposal will be issued, and no award will be made based on responses to this notice. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541511, corresponding to custom computer programming services, with a size standard of $25.5 million. The contracting activity responsible for this effort is located at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, and is managed by the Air Force Test Center’s Contracting Directorate, Test, Evaluation, and Specialized Contracts Branch. The designated points of contact for this contract are Mary Gardner, Contract Specialist, and Karen Wagner, Contracting Officer, who handle the solicitation and contract negotiation processes. This sole source award highlights the Government’s reliance on IDS’s unique capabilities in providing and supporting the CCaRS system, ensuring mission-critical cost and requirements management functions are maintained.
