MEASURE

This sources sought provides notice of the Government's intent to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source contract with Strategic Data Systems, 3914 Murphy Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92123. This effort will provide continuity to sustain the core critical mission of the Metrology Automated System for Uniform Recall and Reporting (MEASURE) System which is NAVAIR's IT solution designed to provide participating activities with a standardized system for the recall and scheduling of test, measuring and diagnostic equipment to support the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Logistics Competency (AIR-6.8) at Patuxent River, MD while the follow-on effort is competed. A follow-on competition is currently in process with the Army Contracting Command (ACC) - New Jersey, located at Fort Dix, NJ 08640; however, award will not be completed prior to the end of the current period of performance of N00178-05-D-4579-M801. This extension covers a period of performance of one (1) year and will include FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. The period of performance will commence on 2 May 2016 and end on 1 May 2017. This extension is necessary as the current contract is scheduled to end as of 1 May 2016. Due to the ongoing nature of the projects currently being performed under contract N00178-05-D-4579-M801 and the need to continue these services without a break in support, Strategic Data Systems is the only practical source for providing the necessary continuation of these services. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Per FAR Subpart 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy requirements," Strategic Data Systems is the sole source capable of providing these efforts without creating an impact on project schedules and operations that would be caused by a break in service. Because of the nature of this requirement and the impracticality and substantial costs, the Government would incur and not recover through competition; this requirement will be procured on a sole source basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for any information received. No telephone responses will be accepted. For information, contact Beverley Rhamdeow, AIR-2.5.1.14.10 via email at contact@example.gov.
