Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract – HQ0854-20-R-0002 Threat Systems Engineering – Specialized Products (REV 1)

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to award a sole source research and development contract to Systems Engineering Group (SEG), Inc. for the performance of complex and highly technical Threat Systems Engineering efforts to provide MDA with specialized products and services that implement specific fidelity, runtime, and memory requirements to support legacy modeling and simulation tools, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (ABMD), Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR), and Homeland Defense Radars (HDR). The effort herein will require the application of advanced scientific and technical knowledge, approaches, processes, and tools to develop cost-effective representations of adversary missile systems in support of the Agency’s on-going missions to include the Missile Defense System (MDS) Capability Increments, Defense Against Hypersonic Threat (DAHT), and Missile Defense and Defeat Enhancement (MDDE). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). This decision is based on the fact that SEG, Inc. represents the only source having the requisite in-depth technical knowledge of MDS component systems and specialized technical expertise that is required to fully accomplish the scope of work contemplated herein within mandated timeframes. No other source has access to all of the technical data nor possesses all the resident expertise on MDS component systems that is essential for the successful performance of this described effort. Further, the required level of expertise cannot be attained by any other contractor within the anticipated period of performance for this effort without MDA incurring unacceptable delays and risk to the Agency's ability to accomplish mandated MDS-related capability enhancements. This sole source award would ensure continuity of critical work until such time that this requirement can be procured competitively. The anticipated period-of-performance is five years. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the government. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No formal solicitation package is available. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact SEG directly.
