U -- Technical Surveillance Training

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is set to modify contract USZA22-03-C-0045 with Technical Surveillance Sciences, Inc., located in Pompano Beach, Florida, to increase the number of technical surveillance training courses provided. This sole-source modification will expand the scope of work to continue offering USSOCOM personnel access to specialized technical surveillance instruction. The contract modification authorizes a minimum of six training courses to be ordered within the current performance period, which spans from August 4, 2003, through August 3, 2004. The procurement is being conducted under regulatory authorities permitting sole-source awards where only one responsible source can satisfy the agency’s needs, specifically under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). This acquisition is a 100% set-aside for small businesses, classified under NAICS code 611710, with a small business size standard of 500 employees or fewer. The contract ensures a readily available source for USSOCOM’s technical surveillance training requirements and reflects the government’s intent to streamline the procurement process without soliciting additional proposals or requests for information. The contract is managed through the Department of Defense office based in Tampa, Florida.
