Global Battlestaff and Program Support (GBPS) contracts bridge

The purpose of this synopsis is to notify industry that the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B). The Government requirements described below were previously supported by our Global Battlestaff and Program Support (GBPS) contracts until exhausted and then by short-term contracts pending transition to our SOF-Wide Mission Support (SWMS) Group C contract. Due to an extended acquisition timeline and multiple protests, SWMS Group C is not yet available. The contracted services described below are mission critical and this support cannot lapse. As such, the Government intends to issue a purchase order to bridge this critical support for a period of up to 6 months allowing the SWMS Group C contract to be awarded. The purchase order will be issued under NAICS 541611 - Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services with a size standard of $15M. This action will cosolidate two former task orders into one bridge contract action, AT&L AC Support and AT&L Admin Support. The Purchase Order will be issued to Jacobs Technology, Inc., 5401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 900, Tampa, FL 33609. The estimated cost of this purchase order is $1.3m. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, all responses received within seven days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A change in the strategy detailed above based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Correspondence in response to this notice shall be submitted to [email protected] and be identified with H92222AT&LBRIDGE in the subject line.
