J -- HM&E engineering, technical, logistics, training, installation, data and program support services

The Government plans to negotiate a sole source extension of an existing contract with AMSEC Corporation for a period of three months, from November 18, 2003, to February 17, 2004. This extension applies to contract N00189-98-D-0066 and will be awarded without full and open competition under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Section 6.302-1. The contract covers services related to HM&E (Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical) engineering, technical, logistics, training, installation, data, and program support. The contracting agency responsible for this action is the Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, part of the Department of Defense, based in Norfolk, Virginia. The contract extension maintains ongoing support in these areas vital to the Navy’s operational readiness, leveraging AMSEC’s existing capabilities and familiarity with the current scope of work. The decision for a sole source extension underscores the specialized nature of the services and the need for continuity to support critical Navy functions without disruption.
