- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a single source contract in accordance with FAA AMS 3.2.2.4 to Management Consulting and Research, LLC (MCR) to provide support services for the Operations Planning, Technology Development, ATO-P. This contract will bridge a shortfall in contract support to ATO-P due to the fact that the current support contract will expire on September 30, 2006. The existing support contract was expected for a longer period of performance; however, due to circumstances beyond the control of the program office, the support will be ending September 30, 2006. Therefore a single source contract for a 9 month period of performance in the amount of $985,000 is being pursued. A follow-on competitive procurement is planned for award in FY 2007. MCR is the company that has the combination of skills needed and the proven track record to satisfy the FAA's requirement to provide investment analysis support and services to ATO-P in a timely manner with no learning curve necessary. It has been determined that it is in the best interest of the FAA to acquire these engineering support services on a single source basis to MCR for the following reasons: MCR has direct experience in the development and management of the business case and investment decision for the System Wide Information Management (SWIM) system and other key subsystems development support of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS). One key component of any acquisition is the investment analysis and proving a business case to ensure anticipated benefits are realized. NGATS development is major undertaking to ensure that national airspace system will be ready to safely and economically meet the needs in civil aviation while fully integrating national defense and homeland security improvements into this future system. MCR has been instrumental in the research and costing development of the Service Oriented Architecture plans that will be utilized to evaluate and implement NGATS and has extensive knowledge regarding National Airspace service functionality which has been proven to be extremely valuable in defending the business case before the various acquisition decision segments. MCR also has unique knowledge that was used to successfully complete the first and second major acquisition milestones for SWIM. MCR has assisted in the maintenance of the investment and business case that will be utilized in justifying life cycle costs and completing the final acquisition milestone. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If your firm does not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capability and experience in providing the services outlined above and the FAA will evaluate that information accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be directed to Sue Handy, Contracting Officer by 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, August 11, 2006.
