Notice of Intent to Increase the Ceiling of Contract N66001-17-C-4062

This is a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-17-C-4062 to Moire Inc. awarded by SSC Pacific on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Defense Strategic Technology Office (DARPA/STO) on 22 March 2017 for a performance period of 6 months. The effort under this contract is to identify and define new concepts in unconventional and non-lethal maritime efforts with the potential for significant military impact. This additional effort will result in a concept of operations (CONOPS) that incorporates capabilities to generate unconventional maritime effects into a system of low-cost floating devices that contain sensors, communications, processing and power resources. In addition to providing long-range, disparate sensing, these devices could also have the potential to disrupt the operations of hostile surface ships and submarines. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712. Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA could not have reasonably estimated the results of the research from this program, which has seen breakthroughs that will benefit from continued work under this current contract. It is expected that the technology will transition for use by the warfighter. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $450,000 and an additional 6 months of performance. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes and will be posted for 15 days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Jeannette Perez, Code 22530, SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific who may be reached by telephone at (619) 553-7918 or via email to [email protected].
