Notice of Intent to Extend The period of Performance for N65236-07-D-6880.

The contract involves the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SSC Atlantic) in Charleston, SC, seeking to extend the performance period of an existing contract from March 7, 2015, to September 6, 2015. This extension is intended to ensure continuity of services related to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Sub-Portfolio at SSC Atlantic and to support the immediate demands of its customers. The extension is being pursued on a sole source basis under statutory authority, recognizing that only one responsible source exists to fulfill the agency’s requirements, and no alternative suppliers or services are suitable for this purpose. This notice serves as an intent rather than a solicitation for competitive proposals, emphasizing that any response must provide strong justification why competition would benefit the government. The decision not to compete the extension is at the government’s discretion. Interested parties were invited to submit written comments or questions by February 14, 2015, directed to the contracting officer. The procurement activity falls under the Department of Defense’s office in North Charleston, SC, and is governed by federal acquisition regulations pertaining to sole source contracts.
