Acquisition, Logistics, Management and Business Operations Support (ALMBOS) contract

The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the revision of the contract maximum order amount on the Acquisition, Logistics, Management and Business Operations Support (ALMBOS) contract USZA22-02-D-0014 supporting the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Awarded in December 2001 to Sverdrup Technology Incorporated (now Jacobs Technology Incorporated), this is a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Award Term contract with an anticipated period of performance through April 2010 for acquiring intellectual capital support in the areas of system acquisition and development. This contract also provides for a wide array of critical support such as Senior Military Planners, Plans Analysts, Intelligence Managers, Senior Psychological Operations Process Analysts, and Technology Experts supporting USSOCOM headquarters, components, Theater Special Operations Commands and the Services (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps) that provide direct support to Special Operations Forces. To continue ALMBOS critical support, it is necessary to increase the maximum order amount of one of the multiple-award contracts from $400M to $460M, with an additional $45M to $505M, if the Government exercises the Extension of Services clause. This action is due to an accelerated pace of contract requirements in response to the further expansion of USSOCOM’s operational tempo as it prosecutes Overseas Contingency Operations. More importantly, in order to ensure a seamless transition period between this contact and the follow-on competitive procurement(s), the last year of task orders may need to be awarded for a full twelve months period of performance. This will negate the Government from having about one hundred task orders expire on 30 April 2010, and then having to award all new task orders under the follow-on contract(s) on 1 May 2010. One or more competitive procurements are anticipated as a future follow-on to this contract.
