Modification of Notice of Intent to Issue Sole Source Mod (N65236-04-D-6842)

The Department of Defense's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic plans to issue a sole source modification to an existing contract (N65236-04-D-6842) with L-3 Services, Inc., based in Marlton, NJ. This modification will increase the contract ceiling by $12 million and extend the performance period by eight months, through November 30, 2011. The purpose of this extension is to allow additional time to award a subsequent competitive follow-on contract. The contract provides systems engineering support encompassing the design, development, installation, testing, analysis, and maintenance of comprehensive C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems and equipment for multiple customers, as outlined in the current Performance Work Statement. This notification makes it clear that it is not a request for competitive proposals but rather a notice of intent to modify the existing sole source agreement. Any comments regarding this action must be submitted in writing by March 4, 2011, to the designated contact at SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic. The contract modification supports ongoing support efforts critical to maintaining and advancing C4ISR capabilities, reflecting the government's strategy to continue engagement with the incumbent contractor while preparing for competition in the future.
