Limited Source Justification

The contract supports critical engineering and technical services to advance U.S. military aviation and missile technologies in response to evolving foreign threats, ensuring continuity of capability through a non-competitive modification to an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement under the OASIS Multiple Award Contract vehicle. The action, executed under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), increases the contract ceiling by $99 million without extending the original period of performance, which concludes on September 21, 2027, after a five-year base term plus a six-month option. The work, performed by Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation (CAGE 1MQC1) in Huntsville, Alabama, with oversight from Redstone Arsenal, encompasses research, development, and support for guidance and control systems, propulsion, avionics, autonomous technologies, and survivability enhancements for air and ground-based weapons, directly serving the U.S. Army’s DEVCOM AvMC Technology Development Directorate. The contract operates as a hybrid Firm Fixed Price/Time-and-Materials arrangement with a waiver of certified cost or pricing data under FAR 15.403-2(b)(3), reflecting its classification as a non-commercial acquisition justified by urgent mission needs and the absence of viable alternative sources capable of meeting operational timelines. Subcontracting obligations are mandated under FAR 52.244-5 and DFARS 252.219-7997, though the offeror’s small business status and specific subcontracting plan details are not confirmed. The Government retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance at Redstone Arsenal, with performance evaluated against an unchanged Performance Work Statement and governed by applicable FAR and GSAR provisions, ensuring technical continuity and national security readiness until a future competitive award is executed.
