Blast Containment Monitoring System Maintenance

The Government has conducted extensive research to provide information about the KUMMSC facility. In response to industry inquiries, we are providing the following information: The new work will require Q clearance to enter the facility. The Government owns the source code and software but does not own the Intellectual property rights (configuration) to the Blast Containment and Management System. There is insufficient time for the Government to pursue acquiring the intellectual property rights and assure contract award by 30 Sep 13. Due to the criticality of this facility, this timeline must be met with no break in service. Therefore, the Government intends to award a sole source contract to the incumbent for a one-year period of performance with potential for a one-year option. A sole source Justification and Approval will be posted on FedBizOpps IAW FAR requirements. The contract period is purposely being written for a short term to provide the Government time to work on procuring the intellectual property rights from Maverick Technologies in order to move towards award of a new competitive contract that will encompass not only this effort but the majority of KUMMSC requirements.
