Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for Integrated Logistics Support of Network Tactical Communication Data Link Systems

The Naval Warfare Information Systems Command (NAVWARSYSCOM), in support of Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), Communications and GPS Navigation Program Office (PMW/A 170), intends to award a sole source contract for Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) services in support of the Network Tactical Communication Data Link (NTCDL) program, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, to Complete Logistics Support (CLS), 475 Market Street, Suite 303 Elmwood Park, NJ 07407. The proposed contract action will result in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for a twelve (12) month base period and one (1) twelve- month option period, with a total estimated dollar value of $472,000. This FFP contract will provide ILS services for Configuration Management, Logistics Analysis, and support updates to the NTCDL technical manual and training curriculum. CLS is the integrated logistics subject matter expert for the NTCDL system and has been an integral partner in the NTCDL development phase, having extensive NTCDL system/program knowledge and holding the technical expertise required for the additional required ILS support. As a subcontractor to BAE Systems (BAE) on the current NTCDL contract (N0003916C0087), CLS performed configuration management, logistics analysis and supported the delivery of the NTCDL technical manual and training curriculum. The training curriculum included details such as operations, maintenance procedures, and technical information enabling the Government to safely and effectively use, maintain, and support the NTCDL system. Most importantly, CLS is experienced in addressing the logistical challenges and dynamics of a System of Systems (SoS), to include the critical need for configuration management and provisioning actions required by the NTCDL program. Given CLS' familiarity with the NTCDL system/program, it is the only source presently qualified with the ILS capabilities to continue the NTCDL program's logistics support without an unacceptable delay to the Government. Any other source would require a significant amount of time and funding to reach the same level of technical competency and NTCDL program knowledge CLS possesses. The Government estimates it would take another vendor two (2) years or more to gain sufficient NTCDL system knowledge before it could begin performing the required tasking. Any delay in performance of required ILS services is unacceptable based on current operational demand. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330 with a size standard of 1,250 Employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A competitive solicitation will not be posted. Interested parties may express their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement by writing directly to the Contracting Officer. A determination by the Government to not compete the anticipated contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Questions concerning this sole source acquisition may be directed in writing to Jennifer De Vera, email address: contact@example.gov with courtesy copy to the Contracting Officer at contact@example.gov. Verbal questions will NOT be accepted. Questions will be answered by posting answers to the NAVWAR e-Commerce Central website; accordingly, questions shall NOT contain proprietary or classified information.
