R--MK 92 Fire Control Systems, MK 41 Vertical Launching System and MK 74 TARTAR for the Air Dominance Department, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, Port Hueneme

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, plans to issue a sole-source bridge contract to AdvantEdge Technology, Inc. for a period of eleven months to provide engineering, technical, computer programming, materials, and program management services. These services support the MK 92 Fire Control Systems, MK 41 Vertical Launching System, and MK 74 TARTAR systems under the Air Dominance Department. This bridge contract is necessary to maintain continuity of critical support services while a competitive procurement is underway through the SeaPort-e Multiple Award Contract. AdvantEdge Technology, Inc. is singled out as the only capable contractor to continue these services without disruption, eliminating the need for a transition period. The anticipated start date for this contract is September 28, 2012, with the procurement classified under NAICS code 541330, which has a size standard of $35.5 million. The decision to award the contract solely to AdvantEdge is driven by considerations of economy, efficiency, and service continuity. The contract will be managed by the Commanding Officer of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, based in Port Hueneme, California, where the services will also be performed. This arrangement ensures uninterrupted support for essential fire control and launching systems critical to naval operations.
