Description

The Philadelphia Office of the U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department intends to solicit the sole source procurement of professional services from The Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) of Old Dominion University (ODU) in support of The Center for Complex Operations (CCO) of the National Defense University (NDU) for the development, piloting, and dissemination of a courseware suite of instructional modules for use by Professional Military Education (PME) institutions for the enhancement of joint force readiness and agility concerning adaptive learning and decision-making leading to an increased likelihood of success in a battle space involving trans-regional illicit networks. Required technical support necessitates subject matter expertise concerning relevant social science research specific to the emergent roles and impacts of illicit actors, structures, and networks across a volatile global environment. ODU VMASC has been performing such support of NDU CCO research on the meta problem of illicit networks and illicit power, analyzing and synthesizing the multiple dimensions of the impact of the problem as it relates to joint force decision-making and response to global security and conflict in the Twenty-first Century. In providing this support, ODU VMASC has coalesced an extensive network of global thinkers, researchers, policy makers and implementers, amassing a large body of research which became codified in three NDU publications: �Convergence: Illicit Networks in the Age of Globalization, � Impunity: Confronting Illicit Power in War and Transition, � and �Beyond Convergence: World without Order. � The instant requirement is a logical follow-on to services previously performed by ODU VMASC for NDU CCO under Task Order 0068 of Contract N00189-08-D-Z052. In the performance of that foundational effort, ODU VMASC identified relevant issues, conducted in-depth analysis, and subsequently developed and mapped the potential pathways for effectively applying the insights achieved from that research to Defense policy, planning, and education. As a result, ODU VMASC accomplished the partial development of instructional material concerning trans-regional illicit networks for incorporation into Military social science curricula. This follow-on effort will require ODU VMASC to both synthesize and nuance its foundational research for the development, piloting, and dissemination of a courseware suite of instructional modules for seamless integration into the core curriculum of multiple PME institutions. This acquisition is being processed pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. ODU VMASC is considered the only source of subject matter expertise with relevant experience and the breadth and depth of knowledge of topical, cutting-edge social science research for global, culturally-specific military application to successfully perform the instant requirement. All other responsible sources may submit concise documentation for consideration regarding their ability to provide the required support, as well as financial and technical information. However, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Furthermore, no award will be made on the basis of information received in response to this notice and the Navy will not pay for any information provided. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not competitive procurement is a possibility. Such information, if submitted, should be forwarded to NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office, 700 Robbins Ave., Bldg. 2B, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5083, to the attention of W. A. Woodring, Code 290.2B, and reference acquisition control number 2016-2859. If no affirmative written responses advantageous to the Navy are received within five (5) calendar days after publication of this notice, ODU VMASC will be solicited to provide the required support. The issuance of a purchase order is contemplated with a period of performance of 1 September 2016 through twelve (12) months thereafter. The applicable Product Service Code (PSC) and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code are AJ71 and 541720, respectively. If this procurement were competed, no additional synopsis would be published and a request for quotation would only be forwarded to the intended source and entities that responded to this synopsis of intent.
