- Description
- The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) intends to increase the not-to-exceed ceiling amount of Contract No. DCA200-01-D-5006, Air Defense Communication Services (ADCS). The contractor is General Dynamics Government Systems Corporation, located in Needham MA. The contract was competitively awarded on 6 July 2001 with a base period through 30 June 2002 and four one-year option periods. It provides management, maintenance and repair and logistics support of the existing highly sophisticated and critical communications system and subsystems used in support of NORAD, including system improvements, upgrades and modifications that require engineering knowledge and experience. The purpose of the increase to the ceiling amount is to meet additional air defense requirements necessary to defend the United States against potential terrorist activities. The increased ceiling amount will include: support for additional CONUS interior radar sites, support for additional CONUS interior radio sites, support for new alert facility scramble capabilities, support for new Continental United States Region Air Operations Center (CONR) to Federal Aviation Administration communications requirements, data switching for sector display processors, design and installation of a replacement to the Intellect Communications System to support the new mission requirements, replacement of the Radio Interface Concentration (RIC) equipment, temporary technical and engineering staff for urgent requirements, additional permanent staff at the Air Defense Sectors to support the increased infrastructure, and a need for repair and return support to maintain equipment at the additional interior radar/radio sites. As a result of the increased scope, the contract not-to-exceed funding ceiling will be increased from $37,500,000 to $73,350,000, an increase of $35,850,000. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency in accordance with Numbered Note 22.
