This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The Government intends to award a sole source purchase order with Lockheed Martin Information Technologies (LMIT) for Special Security Office Support services. Macdill AFB intends to issue a purchase order to LMIT under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the existing agency requirements, for the following reasons stated in the J&A: a. USCENTCOM J2 requires continued Personnel Security Program, Information Security Program, and Physical Security services. An acquisition is currently underway to provide these services through the USARMY Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) CE-LCMC, Rapid Response Project Office, BLDG 295, FT Monmouth, NJ 07703. We are tracking to have a new contract vehicle in place by 31 August 2007. Lockheed Martin is the only reasonable contractor that can provide the continued service without causing a break in critical mission services. They will not require time to ramp up their manpower to current levels nor will they require valuable time to adapt to the learning curve. Providing the bridge contract will ensure critical security requirements are met with no break in service. b. This request is to cover our requirement up to 25 days should the award of the new contract be delayed beyond 31 August 2007. The Personnel Security program is a joint-service personnel security program. Contractors shall be responsible for administering and tracking EPSQ for over 1500 Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) coded positions and approximately 700 collateral positions assigned to USCENTCOM. The Information Security Program is a Department of Defense security program. Contractors shall be responsible for ensuring USCENTCOM compliance with Information Security Program Regulations and Directives. The Contractor shall provide technical expertise regarding physical security infrastructure, and physical security as it relates to systems, and building construction. Contractor shall assist the Special Security Office (SSO) in the writing and formulation of accreditation packages required to document the physical security characteristics of USCENTCOM facilities. Contractor shall be required to assist in the evaluation of technical specifications, and other related documentation required in the formulation of accreditation packages. The Contractor shall not exercise personal judgment on behalf of the Government. Continued contractor support in the areas of personnel, information, and physical security are critical to the continued security operations at USCENTCOM. C. LMIT has provided the critical SSO support over the past four years and has a full understanding of the USCENTCOM SSO requirements. Continuing the support of their expertise for 25 day period of performance until a new contract is in place is critical to ensure SSO functions are provided. An acquisition to provide a new contract vehicle is being administered by CECOM R2 Project Office which should be completed in the near future. Using the current in-place LMIT Vendor to provide up to a 25 day bridge will allow for a smooth transition, and avoid a break in service. This announcement constitutes the only announcement.
