R--Technical, Progam Management and Admin Support

The Office of Naval Research plans to grant a bridge contract to American Technology Solutions International, Inc. (ATSI) based on the justification that only one responsible source is capable of meeting the agency's requirements. This contract will cover technical, program management, and administrative support services under NAICS code 541330. It is scheduled to start on September 4, 2018, and conclude six months later on March 3, 2019. The award is anticipated before September 3, 2018, and is issued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows for a sole-source contract when no other supplies or services are suitable. The contract serves as a temporary measure to maintain continuity of essential support functions while the agency presumably conducts a more comprehensive procurement process. Specific details such as the exact office location, agency name, or contact points are not provided, but the solicitation number is N00014-18-R-SS13. The nature of this bridge contract emphasizes the urgency and necessity of uninterrupted services in technical and administrative domains critical to the Office of Naval Research’s ongoing operations.
