R--Application Development Support

The Mission & Installation Contracting Command at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, plans to award a six-month extension contract to Future Technologies, Inc., located in Fairfax, Virginia, for application development support services. The contract extension covers the period from October 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012. This procurement is a sole source award under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) exception 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) due to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), reflecting a non-competitive acquisition driven by specific operational needs. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this contract is 541511, which pertains to custom computer programming services. Although this notice declares an intent to award without competition, it invites other firms capable of providing these services to submit a capabilities statement by September 2, 2011, noon EST, for consideration. The government retains discretionary authority to forgo competition but remains open to evaluating submissions that convincingly demonstrate the benefits of competitive sourcing. Interested parties must provide clear evidence that competition would serve the government’s interest. The point of contact for the contract is Marcia Souza, reachable via email. This action underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring service continuity within the constraints imposed by BRAC-related realignments.
