Notice of Intent to Extend Period of Performance

The contract entails an official notice of intent to extend the ordering period for three multiple award contracts identified as N65236-00-D-7801, 7802, and 7803 until December 30, 2007. These contracts, which are focused on tri-service sustainment engineering support services, are currently held by Raytheon Technical Services Co., Eagan, McAllister Associates, Inc., and ARIN Engineering Services LLC, located respectively in Norfolk, VA; Lexington, MD; and Annapolis, MD. The extension will be executed as no-cost modifications issued on a sole source basis under the Federal Acquisition Regulation clause FAR 6.302-1. Notably, the total estimated contract value of approximately $71 million will remain unchanged as a result of this extension. The Department of Defense's Niwc Atlantic office, based in North Charleston, SC, is managing this contract, and it is soliciting comments regarding the extension, which should be submitted in writing to Donna Johnson at the provided contact. This action reflects an administrative step to maintain the contractual support for sustainment engineering without altering the contract’s financial terms or soliciting competitive bids for this extension period.
