R -- Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Advisory and Assistance Services Support

It is the intent of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to award a sole source contract modification to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) under Contract HQ0006-03-C-0003 for continued advisory and assistance services support to the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Joint Program Office (JPO) to include locations in Arlington, VA, Colorado Springs, CO, Huntsville, AL, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, and Ft. Greely, AK. The proposed acquisition is directed to CSC pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed action will provide support services to the GMD JPO in various functions, including system engineering and integration, test and evaluation, operation support, security support, technical services for the Ground Based Interceptors, Ground Systems, and related functional organizations. The proposed extension is from 18 Jan 08 through 30 Sep 08 with one four month option period (1 Oct 08 through 31 Jan 09). This extension of the current CSC contract is necessary to maintain highly specialized and critical support to the GMD JPO during the period between the current expiration date of the CSC contract and the date on which these requirements can be met by competitive contract awards under the Missile Defense Agency Engineering and Support Services (MiDAESS) acquisition.
