NIDS III provides Engineering and Technical Services to provide Software Development/Maintenance for the National Target Base and National Designated Ground Zero List in support of the Targeting Integrated Product Team, supporting the USSTRATCOM Air Room

Notice of Intent to increase the ceiling and extend NIDS III IDIQ contract FA4600-14-D-0001, on a sole source basis, using authority under FAR 6.302-1. The 55th Contracting Squadron, Offutt AFB, NE intends to extend the NIDS III contract eighteen months to 30 Sep 2020 and increase total contract value by $4.8M, from $35,883,761 to $40,749,563.35. The main driver of the ceiling increase and additional technical scope is the ongoing development and enhancement activities. These activities have resulted in a need for expanded contract capacity to execute planned operations for FY16-FY20 for the National Target Base Desired Ground Zero (DGZ) List (NDL) Integrated Development System. The total requested ceiling increase will allow for continued maintenance and sustainment activities, ongoing development activities, increased on-site support requirements, and required future modifications to NIDS development and modified weapons. To stop in the middle of the Increment modernization and development effort, would cause unacceptable risk to our nation and place detrimental impacts and delay to ISPANs other contracts, APS, GSPS and DARTS. The ISPAN program is a highly complex system used only at USSTRATCOM and the NIDS program is unique to ISPAN. This notice is neither a request for a competitive proposal nor a solicitation for offerors. A determination by the Government to not compete this requirement is based on responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice should not be construed as a commitment by the Government. If you believe your company can provide the NIDS services at full performance starting 31 July 2018, interested parties may provide a capability package within fifteen (15) days of this announcement.
