The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, plans to negotiate a sole-source contract with Battelle Memorial Institute, located in Columbus, Ohio, for the Aircraft Vulnerability Test Program. This action is directly tied to a requirement from the Department of Homeland Security through an Inter-Agency Agreement with the Aberdeen Test Center. Battelle is uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement due to its proprietary technologies and specialized capabilities, which other contractors cannot provide without causing significant duplication of costs and delays. As such, this procurement will not be competed, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541380 with a size standard of $14 million. While this notice invites interested parties to express their interest by a specified deadline, it does not represent a solicitation for competitive, sealed proposals. All inquiries and written expressions of interest must be directed to the designated government point of contact, Jason Childress, via email, with no telephone requests accepted. This sole-source award aims to ensure timely and cost-effective execution of the Department of Homeland Security’s mission-related testing program.
