R--Technical Support Services for Reston, Virginia and Rolla, Missouri for the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center (NGTOC)

Contract No. 02HQCN0008 was competitively awarded to Harris Technical Services Corp. (formerly The Orkand Corporation) to provide technical support services for the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center (NGTOC) in various USGS locations throughout the United States. The contract ends September 30, 2007. The positions for the USGS in Reston and Rolla were identified in the A-76 competitive sourcing study targeted for award September 2007. The study was cancelled in June 2007 and therefore those positions will be vacant starting October 1, 2007. Due to an inadequate amount of time to conduct acquisition planning and the need to continue support of critical systems, the USGS intends to extend the period of performance on the existing contract for an additional six months while a new competition is being conducted for the follow-on contract. This extension is only for those positions affected by the A-76 study. This notice is for informational purposes only. Request for Proposal (RFP) is not available. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this action.
