AI Contract Overview

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) intends to sole source an increase to the contract ceiling for the Contractor Logistics Services contract USZA22-03-D-0006, held by L-3 Communications, Joint Operations Group. Originally awarded in August 2003 as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, Cost-Plus Award-Fee contract with a $1.5 billion ceiling, this contract supports the Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) in Lexington, Kentucky. The ceiling will be raised by $600 million to a new total of $2.1 billion to accommodate unforeseen demands stemming from the global war on terror (GWOT) and shifts in USSOCOM's mission post-9/11. While the contract scope remains consistent with the initial performance requirements, the intensity and volume of work exceeded original estimates, causing the contract ceiling to be reached earlier than anticipated in the fourth contract year. This increase ensures uninterrupted continuation of critical projects such as aviation fixed and rotary wing production and logistics efforts critical to ongoing operational support at SOFSA. Due to approaching the existing ceiling, early planning for recompeting the contract is underway, with a draft request for proposal planned for October 2007 and a final solicitation expected by February 2008. The incumbent contractor remains the sole source capable of efficiently maintaining continuity until a competitive follow-on contract is awarded. The action complies with legal authorities permitting sole source negotiations without competition given the unique expertise required and the criticality of uninterrupted operational support. Questions regarding this requirement are directed to the Chief of the SOFSA Contracting Division.

Full Description

The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the intent of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to negotiate, on a sole source basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1, an increase in the contract ceiling on the Contractor Logistics Services contract, USZA22-03-D-0006 in support of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) located in Lexington, Kentucky. Awarded in August 2003, this is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, Cost-Plus Award-Fee (CPAF) contract. Accordingly, this action will increase the current contract ceiling by $600 million from $1.5 billion to $2.1 billion. This contract was awarded with a five-year base period and five option years available under award term incentives. The award term years have been removed from the contract. It is necessary to increase the ceiling due to (1) unanticipated high level of support for the global war on terror (GWOT) as a result of the events of September 11, 2001 (9/11); and (2) USSOCOM?s mission change based on those events. All work to be performed under the contract is considered to be in accordance with the original performance work statement; however, the GWOT increased the amount of work to be accomplished to an amount not contemplated in the estimated original ceiling price. As a result of the requirements placed against this contract supporting the GWOT and due to USSOCOM?s mission change, the original established contract ceiling of $1.5 billion is expected to be reached in contract year four. This increase in the ceiling will secure continued and seamless support of several critical on-going projects at SOFSA, such as on-going aviation fixed and rotary wing production and logistic efforts, while at the same time ensuring sufficient contract ceiling is available for new tasks supporting the USSOCOM mission. Because the requirements and obligations are approaching the contract ceiling, an early recompetition of the SOFSA effort is necessary. The planning phases for a competitive solicitation are already underway to replace this contract with a targeted draft request for proposal in October 2007 and a Final Request for Proposal in February 2008. The contractor is L-3 Communications, Joint Operations Group, contract USZA22-03-D-0006. The incumbent contractor is the only source available with the expertise to allow for effective and efficient continuation of effort pending award of a competitive follow-on contract. Any questions regarding the above requirement should be submitted in writing via fax or email to the Points of Contact listed below.
