The contract modification involves an extension and an increase in the not-to-exceed ceiling of contract N65236-00-D-5058 for Programmable Integrated Communications Terminals (PICTs) supporting the Integrated Voice Network (IVN). The period of performance is extended through August 31, 2007, with an additional ceiling increase of $9 million to address unforeseen agency requirements. This modification will be awarded on a sole-source basis to Litton Data Systems (L3 Communications) in San Diego, CA, as they are the only known source capable of fulfilling the agency’s needs, consistent with FAR 6.302-1. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, reflecting the sole-source nature of the extension. The issuing agency is the Department of Defense through the Navy Information Warfare Center Atlantic located in North Charleston, SC. For inquiries regarding the modification, Gloria Myers, a contract negotiator, can be contacted at the provided phone number. The purpose of this action is to ensure continuity and fulfill additional requirements without competitive bidding due to the unique capabilities of the incumbent contractor.
