Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando, FL intends to extend the ordering period and raise the ceiling on contract N68936-05-D-0042 with SoBran Incorporated. This increase is necessary due to unanticipated and substantial changes to the future requirement. The additional time is necessary to define the requirement, conduct sufficient market research and allow for uninterrupted performance until a follow-on contract can be awarded. This contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity with Time and Material Provisions for production support services to augment the Government workforce in support of the Depot Level Maintenance (DLM) mission at the Fleet Readiness Center - Southeast (FRCSE). The current ordering period will expire on 30 September 2010. This increase will cover a period of 10 months until the follow on contract is awarded in June 2011, with a two (2) month mobilization period. Therefore, the requirement being synopsized here is a 10 month requirement. This sole source action is being requested in order for the FRCSE to have uninterrupted services until the recompeted contract is awarded. Any firms believing they can provide these services may submit a written response to be received at the Contracting Office no later than 15 days after the date of publication of this notice. It must clearly show the firm's ability to be responsive without compromising the quality, accuracy or reliability of the services provided and without causing an interruption of critical services. The firm's response should also illustrate how it can overcome the start-up costs necessary to assume this effort in the short period of performance that this synopsis represents. The contract was originally solicited as a competitive procurement action pursuant to FAR 19.5. The NAICS Code is 561210 and the FSC/PSC Code is J015. The procurement was a 100% set-aside for small business firms whose revenue does not exceed $35.5M. If firms are interested in the follow-on effort, an additional Sources Sought is anticipated to be released in September 2010 reflecting the changes made to the requirement. Send inquiries to:
