Joint Terminal Engineering Office/Global Broadcast Services (JTEO/GBS) Notice of Proposed Contract Action - SMC12-86

The United States Air Force Space and Missiles Systems Center (SMC) Military Satellite Communications Systems Directorate intends to issue a sole source, mixed contract type Task Order; Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) for Labor, Cost Basis for the ODCs, and Price Basis for the General Services Administration (GSA) Access Fee, to the incumbent, Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., 8283 Greensboro Dr., McLean Virginia, 22102-4904. This is a continuation of the effort for the Joint Terminal Engineering Office/Global Broadcast Services (JTEO/GBS) Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) currently being performed under an existing Task Order/Contract FA8808-08-F-0003 to the GSA Millennia GWAC Contract GS00T99ALD0202. Hereafter this effort will be referred to as the JTEO/GBS Bridge and will be issued as a Task Order under the GSA Alliant GWAC Contract. This action ensures there is no lapse of services until the new Enterprise level contract, Military Satellite Communications, Analysis, Systems Integration, Engineering and Support (MASIES), is successfully competed and awarded. The period of performance is approximately six (6) to nine (9) months (specifically a six (6) month Basic and a three (3) month Option) for most JTEO tasks from 1 October 2012 through 31 March 2013/30 June 2013, and approximately 11 months for GBS tasks from 22 October 2012 through 30 September 2013. The locations of performance will be Washington D.C. and Los Angeles for JTEO and Hanscom Air Force Base for GBS. This task order will be awarded under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). Only one responsible source and no other sources will satisfy the Agency's requirements because the program office maintains cognizance over the protected Satellite Communications market and no other companies have emerged with the capability to meet these requirements without incurring a significant duplication of costs and unacceptable schedule impact to the program. A sources sought was posted on FedBizOpps on 9 April 2012 (SMC #12-66), which was used for market research. In that notice the Government communicated to the industry its intention to create a JTEO/GBS Bridge contract/task order. Only one, the incumbent, responded to the FBO sources sought posting. This notice is for information and planning purposes only; it does not constitute a Request for Proposal. The Government will not recognize any costs associated with submission of information in response to this or previous notices. In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a statement of capability, not to exceed 15 pages in length (a page is defined as 8.5 inch x 11 inch sheet, using 12 point Time New Roman font, with 1 inch Top, Bottom, and Side borders.), which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within discretion of the Government. The size standard for NAICS 541512 is $25.5M and all responses should identify their size against NAICS 541512. Submit all inquiries or responses to this notice to the Procurement Contracting Officer, Mr. Jeffrey W. Dedrick. Electronic submissions are acceptable. Email: Jeffrey.Dedrick@losangeles.af.mil.
