R -- Program Management Support for Aerial Targets, Decoys, Target Augmentation, and Auxiliary Systems

The government intends to issue a sole source modification to extend Contract N00019-98-D-0066 for an additional six months, from January 1, 2005, through June 30, 2005. This extension aims to ensure uninterrupted technical, engineering, and program advisory support services for the Navy Targets and Aerial Vehicles Program Office (PMA-208) while a competitive procurement process is completed. The incumbent contractor, DP Associates, Inc., has been identified as the only qualified source with the necessary expertise to maintain mission capability and operational support during this period without disruption. This action is not a request for proposals but a notice of the government's intent to negotiate and award the contract extension sole source. The Contract Specialist, Roger J. McAughan, is the designated point of contact for any inquiries, which must be submitted by December 28, 2004. The contract covers program management support related to aerial targets, decoys, target augmentation, and auxiliary systems under the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, with a NAICS code of 541330. This extension serves to bridge the gap until a competitive award can be finalized, safeguarding ongoing program activities.
