AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) plans to increase the ceiling on contract number N66001-08-D-0055 by $8,366,000, awarded to Tactical Engineering and Analysis, Inc. (TEA). This contract provides specialized support for Test Engineering, Analysis, Prototype development, and Evaluation (TAPE) focused on critical systems such as MIDS, JTIDS, JTRS, and Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), as well as other applications that address U.S. military Tactical Data Link (TDL) communication challenges. The increase will be awarded without full and open competition under the justification that TEA is the only responsible source capable of delivering these highly specialized services without unacceptable delays, ensuring continuity in support of essential Navy and Department of Defense missions. TEA’s expertise is vital to the ongoing success of key programs including Aegis BMD afloat and ashore, TDL Testing and Evaluation, JTRS, Link Monitoring and Management Tool, the Accelerated Midterm Interoperability Improvement Project, the Distributed Engineering Plant, and Tactical Data Link Foreign Military Sales. Interruption or delay in these services could significantly impact mission readiness, deployment schedules, and readiness of U.S. and allied forces. The contract modification will cover the period up to the contract’s expiration on September 22, 2013, with no extension anticipated. The government encourages capable parties to express interest within 15 days of the notice, although this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. Questions may be directed to SSC Pacific’s contracts specialist.

Full Description

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) intends to increase the contract ceiling by $8,366,000 on contract number N66001-08-D-0055, awarded to Tactical Engineering and Analysis, Inc. (TEA). This contract provides support for Test Engineering, Analysis, Prototype development, and Evaluation (TAPE) for MIDS, JTIDS, JTRS, and Aegis BMD systems including evaluation of other applications for solving U.S. military TDL communications problems. This increase in contract ceiling will be awarded without providing for full and open competition pursuant to the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). No source, Government or industry, other than TEA is currently capable of providing these highly specialized services without an unacceptable delay. TEAs fundamental understanding of current TDL and Navy combat systems is crucial to ensure continuity of uninterrupted support of the following critical ongoing programs/projects for which TEA has demonstrated effective and efficient expertise: Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Aegis Afloat and Ashore; Tactical Data Links (TDL) Testing and Evaluation (T&E); Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS); Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT); Accelerated Midterm Interoperability Improvement Project (AMIIP); Distributed Engineering Plant (DEP); Tactical Data Link (TDL) Foreign Military Sales (FMS). Any interruption of this support will negatively affect the mission capability of the Navy and the DoD. Due to the nature of the above listed programs and their direct support of the Navy, Joint Services, and Allies for pre-deployment interoperability testing and combat system assessments, any delay or interruption of support will impact Deployment schedules as well as combat readiness. The anticipated period of performance for the proposed acquisition is from the effective date of contract modification award through the expiration date of the contract, 22 September 2013. No extension is required. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interest and capability statements received within 15 days after date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. Questions concerning this modification may be directed to Brandon Spaulding, SSC Pacific Contracts Specialist, at contact@example.gov or +1 (555) 000-0000.
