AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) is planning to award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for the continued research and development of composite technology in container security. This contract will be a sole source follow-on to a previous competitively awarded contract with SAIC and focuses on completing the development, testing, and prototyping of the Advanced Container Security Device (ACSD) and the Container Security Device (CSD). The ACSD includes advanced sensors designed to detect intrusions on any container side, unauthorized door openings, and the presence of human cargo, while the CSD is a subset specifically aimed at door intrusion detection. The technology for these devices has been developed under prior contracts with SAIC, including both Navy and Army task orders. The sole source justification relies on the unique expertise and prior development work SAIC has conducted, which no other vendor can replicate without substantial duplication of cost to the government. Authority for limiting competition is based on federal regulations citing that only one responsible source exists to meet the agency’s needs. However, other capable sources are invited to submit capability statements, and if it is determined that another source could fulfill the requirements without excessive cost duplication, the sole source acquisition strategy will be reconsidered. Any inquiries regarding this contract action can be directed to the designated government point of contact.

Full Description

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific), intends tosolicit and award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of 10210 Campus Point Drive San Diego, CA 92121 on a sole source basis. The purpose of this action is to complete the research and development requirements for composite technology in container security. This action is a follow-on to a previous contract with SAIC, N66001-05-C-6013, awarded under the competitive Homeland Security Advanced Research Project Agency (HSARPA) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 04-06 published on 7 May 2004. The government seeks the completion effort of the development, test, and prototype of the Advanced Container Security Device (ACSD) and Container Security Device (CSD). The ACSD consists of sensors that detect and warn of intrusion on any of the six sides, door openings, or the presence of human cargo. All ACSD development has been under N66001-05-C-6013. A subset of the ACSD capabilities is the CSD, which specifically detects an unauthorized opening of a container door. The technology used by SAIC for the CSD was developed under N66001-05-C-6013 (mentioned above) as well as United States Army contract W91-CRB-04-D-0015, task order 0032. Authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. SAICs experience and container technology makes it the only source that would not result in the duplication of cost to the government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by SSC Pacific. If it is determined that sources other than SAIC can successfully meet this requirement without substantial duplication of cost to the government, the sole source acquisition strategy will be reconsidered.
