- Description
- 1.Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source modification to existing contract HM0476-15-C-0009 with Freedom Consulting Group, 9881 Broken Land Parkway, Suite 300, Columbia, MD, 21046-1157, to continue operations and sustainment for the Topographic Feature Data Management (TFDM) software baseline, continued development to incorporate automated workflows that facilitate the ingestion of large quantities of topographic data, maintenance of the topographic data model, and improvements to the web-based data export application. The period of performance for the existing contract will be extended for 12 months to March 13, 2018. 2.The sole source modification to the existing contract will provide operation and sustainment for the TFDM software baseline under terms consistent with the current requirements of the contract. All maintenance (preventive and scheduled), performance monitoring and issue resolution, discrepancy report (DR) work-off efforts, help desk support, and usage analysis are included in this effort. Transition planning and decommissioning will be included in this extension to facilitate a smooth transition to a longer-term development and sustainment contract following this extension period. 3.Freedom Consulting Group is the only vendor who can provide the required level of support necessary to avoid operational impacts to the vast user community. Freedom Consulting's familiarity with the TFDM software baseline, architecture, operations, user community, and roadmap make them the most risk averse and cost effective solution for this extension period. Any change in developer prior to award of a follow-on contract would delay the delivery of the remaining TFDM capabilities. Furthermore, a change in developer would create a disruption that would unnecessarily introduce additional risk to our customer base and degrade their operational effectiveness. 4.This notice of intent is being published in accordance with FAR 5.2 requiring the dissemination of information on proposed contract actions. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source modification to an existing contract. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the highly specialized supplies or services are available from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Further, award of this requirement to a different source would result in an unacceptable delay in fulfilling the agency's requirements and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. 5.This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability in response to the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. 6.The Government will issue a Justification and Approval to support the need for a sole source award. 7.The point of contact for this action is Bradley Austin, Bradley.R.Austin@nga.mil.
