D--J&A for JTF Bravo Extension

The Army Contracting Command-APG-Belvoir Division plans to negotiate a contract modification exclusively with Harris IT Services Corporation under Task Order No. W91QUZ-07-D-0001-BD01. This task order involves providing Command, Control, Communications, and Computer Systems (C4S) support to the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) at Joint Task Force-Bravo, Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras. The proposed modification will extend the contract’s Period of Performance by 30 days to facilitate support phase-out activities and ensure a smooth transition of services from the current contractor to a successor. This extension reflects a level of effort increase determined by the government to remain within the original scope of the task order. Harris IT Services Corporation has satisfactorily fulfilled the task order requirements, and maintaining continuous support is critical to USSOUTHCOM’s operational mission. This notice is issued under FAR 5.201(b)(1)(ii) to publicize the government’s intent but does not solicit competitive proposals nor will a solicitation be issued. While the negotiation will occur solely with Harris IT Services Corporation, the government invites any feedback or responses to this notice, which must be submitted via email by 3 PM EST on August 13, 2014, to the designated contract specialist. The contracting activity is managed by the Department of Defense's W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Wash Ofc in Alexandria, VA, and the action pertains to NAICS code 541330, which covers engineering services. The continued uninterrupted support and orderly transition are essential to sustaining the mission readiness of USSOUTHCOM forces operating in the region.
