D--Tactical Support Communications

The contract extension involves Rome Research Corporation continuing to provide tactical support communication services for the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTAMS LANT) in Jacksonville. The original contract, N00140-03-C-0045, was set to expire on August 31, 2008, but due to the absence of a follow-on contract, the term will be extended from September 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008. This extension ensures uninterrupted mission support and operational continuity for NCTAMS LANT during the competitive procurement process for a new contract. The scope of the contract includes tactical support communications under NAICS code 517110, classified with the Federal Supply Code D316. The extension is managed by the FISC Norfolk Philadelphia Division, which oversees the procurement to maintain service reliability. This measure is critical to avoid any disruption in the communications support essential to the Navy's operations until a new contract is awarded and becomes effective.
