SOURCES SOUGHT RFI W9124Q07C0504EXT6MOS

THIS IS A Sources Sought Notice ONLY. The US Government currently intends to extend the period of performance for Contract Number W9124Q-07-C-0504 for a six (6) period from 1 December 2016 through 30 June 2017. The six (6) month extension of service clause FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services" is in the current contract. However, this option period under FAR 52.217-8 was not previously evaluated as part of the initial contract award. An extension is required to maintain continuity of services. Accordingly, in order to exercise the clause and extend services for an additional six (6) months, the contract action must fall within the ambit of a proper sole-source contract action under FAR Part 6.3. The proposed six (6) months extension for Contract W9124Q-07-C-0504 under the provisions of statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, will be extended on a sole source basis to TRAX International, LLC, 8337 West Sunset Rd, Ste. 250, Las Vegas, NV 89113-2200, for the Mission Support Services (MSS) contract at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico. The estimated dollar value of this action is $42 million. The proposed six (6) month sole source extension under contract W9124Q-07-C-0504, is for the Army Test & Evaluation Command (ATEC) to provide engineering and technical services to support operation and developmental testing for Department of Defense (DoD) program offices at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and on occasion, at various US and overseas locations. These services consist of augmentation of the Government workforce across the functional areas of WSMR capabilities. Support ranges from operating and maintaining range instrumentation (radar, optics, telemetry, timing...), evaluation of systems under test, development and modernization of range instrumentation systems, flight safety analysis and software engineering.
