D -- Extension of Contract DCA200-95-C-0080 for Transportable Communications Service (T-Comm Service)

The Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), located at Scott Air Force Base, IL intends to extend existing contract DCA200-95-C-0080 for up to six months, effective 1 September 2007. The purpose of this extension is to provide additional time needed to complete acquisition actions necessary to award a new T-Comm contract sole-source to AT&T Corp. DITCO's intent to award a new T-Comm contract sole-source to AT&T Corp. was previously publicized via an FBO synopsis during May 2007 and there were no industry responses. The existing T-Comm contract provides full duplex, 15 channel, voice and data communications service over a T-1 circuit path between certain suitably configured aircraft operating anywhere worldwide and the U.S. Air Force Northstar Network. T-Comm connectivity with an aircraft is accomplished via Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio or direct physical connection. Connectivity with the Northstar Network is accomplished via use of a terrestrial circuit or a satellite link. Service is provided as needed by means of teams of personnel and equipment on call for departure within 24 hours to any service location. Performance of the contract requires access to classified information and personnel must have a secret security clearance. No subcontracting opportunities are available under this contract. DITCO contacts are Ms Joyce King, Contracting Officer, e-mail joyce.king@disa.mil or Mr. Stan Schellenbach, Contracting Officer, e-mail stan.schellenbach@disa.mil, no later that 6 July 2007.
