Bridge for GMD A & AS Support

It is the intent of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to award a sole source bridge contract to Computer Science Corporation for continued advisory and assistance services (A&AS) in the following areas: Quality, Safety, and Mission Assurance, Business and Financial Management, Administrative and Other Professional Support, Systems Engineering, Acquisition Management, Infrastructure and Environment, Human Resources, Test, Warfighter and BMDS Operations Support, Worldwide Deployment Advanced Technology, and Security and Intelligence Operations, International Affairs, Information Management and Technology Operations. These services are required to maintain continuity of Agency operations and avoid disruption of critical support to the GMD Joint Program Office services that provide highly specialized, critical support to the Ground Based Interceptors, Ground Systems, and related functional organizations. This will be accomplished by contract modification to extend the existing contract HQ0006-03-C-0003, and will provide transition from the expiring contract until the requirements can be met by competitive contract awards under the Missile Defense Agency Engineering and Support Services (MiDAESS) acquisition program. The proposed extension is from 18 Jan 09 through 17 Jan 10 and a one year option period (18 Jan 10 – 17 Jan 11). The current level of SETA support will be continued under this contract extension. The period of performance is 12 months with an option for up to an additional 12 months for a total period of not more than twenty-four (24) months. These efforts will be transferred to competitively awarded MiDAESS contracts as fast as reasonably practical. These proposed acquisitions are pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. A Justification and Approval for this action was approved by the Agency head on Aug 22, 2008. A copy of the J&A is available upon request. The Agency intends to issue periodic updates on the MiDAESS acquisition within the next few months. See Note 22.
