R -- UMPIRE, Signature and Technical Intelligence

The Missile Defense Agency Intelligence Directorate (MDA/DOSI) intends to award, based on FAR 8.405-6, one sole-source Time and Materials contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), for the management, maintenance and enhancements to the Universal Missile Protocol Instantiation Requester (UMPIRE), Scientific and Technical Intelligence (S&TI) tasks. SAIC is the only source capable of performing these tasks due to the unique or specialized nature of the UMPIRE software, work completed to date on an initial two-year UMPIRE development task, and previous, ongoing and future developmental coordination with the Missile and Space Intelligence Center, National Air and Space Intelligence Center and the Office of Naval Intelligence members make SAIC uniquely qualified in this instance. UMPIRE provides utilities that assist the analyst in understanding and interpreting simulation outputs involving mission critical MDA requirements. Contract award is expected on or about May 1, 2007. The contract period of performance is one (1) base year plus three (3) one-year option periods. MDA intends to utilize GSA ordering procedures to acquire the services described in this notice. The anticipated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511; small business size standard is $23 Million.
