Modification of N0018912D0003

This notification is for issuance of a sole-source modification to contract N0018912D0003 with Automation Precision Technology, Inc. (APT) to extend the period of performance through 31 January 2018, with the option to extend services up to 31 July 2018 pursuant to FAR clause 52.217-8. This contract is for the operation of three contractor-operated parts stores and the furnishing of all supplies, parts, equipment and materials needed by the Navy in Great Lakes, IL. This contract was competitively awarded and services expire on 30 April 2017. The follow-on to this contract was initiated on 21 September 2016 through solicitation N0018916R0047. A NAICS code appeal was subsequently filed. Solicitation N0018916R0047 was canceled on 06 October 2016 in order to give the Government sufficient time and opportunity to review the merits of the appeal. Solicitation N0018917R0026 for the follow-on effort was issued on 15 March 2017 specifying a revised NAICS code. All interested concerns are directed to solicitation N0018917R0026, available electronically on this site. This modification is being issued in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), the services are deemed to be available only from APT as it is the only known contractor with the capability to perform without delay or interruption while the follow-on competition occurs. Award to any other source would likely result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays. Point of contact is Danielle Lafferty, [email protected].
