AI Contract Overview

NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) plans to extend its existing contract with MECx, LP for safety, health, and environmental support services at Edwards and Palmdale locations. This extension, awarded on a sole-source basis, will cover an initial five-month period plus seven additional one-month options, potentially extending the contract duration up to twelve months from December 2012 through November 2013. The extension ensures seamless continuity of critical mission support while allowing time to complete ongoing work for a competitive follow-on procurement. MECx is currently the only contractor capable of meeting NASA/DFRC’s specific requirements within the constrained timeframe, and switching providers mid-term would result in significant duplication of costs and unacceptable service disruptions. The contract utilizes a hybrid firm-fixed price and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure, with MECx providing all necessary labor, supervision, materials, and management to fulfill the scope of work. While this extension is intended to be non-competitive, NASA invites interested organizations to submit their capabilities in writing by a specified deadline for consideration in potentially converting the procurement to a competitive process. All offers will be reviewed in accordance with commercial item acquisition procedures, and an ombudsman is available to address concerns. This approach balances maintaining operational support with compliance to procurement regulations amid the transition to a new contract arrangement.

Full Description

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) intends to extend Contract No. NND06AB40B with MECx, LP (MECx) on a sole-source basis pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of the NASA/DFRC Code SH, Safety, Health, and Environmental Office. The objective is to extend the performance period for five (5) months plus seven (7) one-month options. This extension will ensure program continuity and critical mission support while allowing the necessary time to complete ongoing efforts associated with a competitive follow-on procurement. The current Contractor provides mission critical safety, health, and environmental support services for the NASA/DFRC Edwards and Palmdale locations. Services are currently obtained using a hybrid firm-fixed price (FFP) and indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Contractor provides all resources, including labor, supervision, materials and management necessary to operate safety, health and environmental support service functions as described in the Statement of Work. The extension will increase the current contract value and extend the period of performance for five (5) months plus seven (7) one-month options, for a total potential extended performance period of up to twelve (12) months, from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2013. The current contractor, MECx, is considered the only contractor that can meet NASA/DFRCs requirements given the potentially short period of performance for the extension. Award to another source while the competitive process for a follow-on contract is occurring would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Award to another source while the competitive process for the follow-on contract is ongoing would also not allow for a sufficient phase-in period, thereby affecting the continuity of services and causing unacceptable delays in fulfilling NASA/DFRCs requirements. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort to the identified point of contact IN WRITING no later than 4 PM PST on November 23, 2012. Such communication of capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communications will not be accepted in response to this notice. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Far Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is Patrick C. Stoliker, contact@example.gov.
