DCGS SOF

The purpose of this notice is to notify industry that the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotations. USSOCOM has a requirement for a technical subject matter expert (SME) to support Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems (DCGS) Special Operations Forces (SOF). The contractor shall carry out USSOCOM interests as part of the DCGS Multi-Service Execution Team (MET) Management Office (DMO), located at Hanscom AFB, which is the guiding, collaborative, and decision making body that coordinates acquisition and implementation of the DCGS Enterprise included as part of the Defense Intelligence Information Environment (DI2E) governed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)). The SME will carry out the daily tasks and activities required to accomplish the MET mission in support of the DCGS-SOF Program of Record (PoR). With coordination and oversight from of the Government Program Manager, the SME will participate as a Voting Member Representative (VMR) to the MET DMO. This support includes planning and participating in collaboration meetings via telecon, VTC, or in person. Contracting for this support has a high potential to create an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). The contractor will: be engaged in requirements generation, requirements analysis, acquisition support, budget planning and management, business process reengineering, program planning budget and execution support; and be provided with information that, if used, would result in an unfair competitive advantage when competing for a future requirement. Contracting for this support will be done in a manner that avoids, neutralizes, or mitigates this potential OCI. The long term strategy for this support will be to execute a task order under our SOCOM Wide Mission Support (SWMS) C contract. The short term strategy to ensure this support is continued until SWMS C becomes available for use will be to execute a stand-alone, sole source contract to the incumbent, Integrity Applications, Inc. of 15020 Conference Center Drive, Suite 100, Chantilly, Virginia 20151-3814 for a one year period of performance. The value of this contract is estimated NTE $400K. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, all responses received by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on 21 September 2016 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Correspondence in response to this notice shall be submitted to [email protected] and be identified with H92222-16-R-DCGS in the subject line.
