Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications Spiral Capability Development

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a requirement for the continued engineering, development, test, integration, fielding and on-site operations and sustainment support for the Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) system located worldwide. This effort will also include deliverables of hardware and software data and products, training material and systems, test support and operations and maintenance. This requirement is a part of the C2BMC Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program element (MDA/BC). MDA intends to modify the sole source contract awarded to Lockheed Martin Corporation to add an additional five years to the ordering period in order to complete the current spiral development and maintain the fielded system until such time as the new spiral replaces it in the field. The proposed contract action is for system engineering expertise for the next spiral development (Spiral 8.2) and continued operations and sustainment of the current fielded C2BMC system (Spiral 6.4) for which the Government negotiated a sole source contract award under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Lockheed Martin Corporation is the only source that currently possesses the in-depth technical knowledge of the system requirements to satisfactorily perform the work contemplated herein within the needed timeframe. No other source has access to the required technical data and resident expertise to perform the described effort. This expertise cannot be attained by any other contractor within the anticipated period of performance without incurring an unacceptable delay and risk to the overall program in fulfilling these agency requirements and mission and a substantial duplication of costs. The sole source award will ensure continuity of the program until such time that this requirement can be procured competitively at the completion of this award. The anticipated ordering period of the contract is for an additional five (5) years for a total of ten years. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. There is no formal solicitation package available; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin Corporation directly.
