- This is a notice of a proposed contract action in accordance with FAR 5.201.� The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Hood for the Mission and Installation Command at Yuma Proving Ground intends to award a sole source contract to Averna Test Systems Incorporated to provide Integrated Ballistic Data Systems at Yuma Proving Ground.� The location will be at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. This requirement consists of services for the Integrated Ballistic Data System (IBDS) mobile, IBDS fixed, and bridge boxes. Repair and maintenance is required to return the system to a fully operational status and ensure the sustainability of the components. The type of repair and maintenance shall include the following: Firmware version updates, hardware version updates, software version updates, mandated operating system or other Government software changes, mandated network or security feature changes. System modification, enhancements, and upgrades may be required to maintain superior technological performance of the components into the future. The modifications, enhancements, and upgrades include the following: new hardware, new software applications, engineering support and technical assistance, parts and supplies, new items, consumables, and other associated system components. The IBDS was previously purchased by the Government under contract number W9124R-17-D-0006. Averna Test Systems, Inc., formerly known as Cal-Bay Systems, Inc., is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the existing IBDS. Additionally, both the U.S. Army and Averna Test Systems, Inc. are coowners of the software package that controls and operates the current IBDS. Therefore, the system is considered proprietary. If awarded, the proposed IBDS contract action will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 13.501 (a)(1)(ii) for sole source commercial acquisitions� Responsible sources may submit a capability statement for consideration.� The NAICS for this project is: 541511. This announcement does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Integrated Ballistic Data Systems nor does it restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach.� The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice nor will it reimburse firms for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice.� Identify any condition or action that may be having the effect of unnecessarily restricting competition with respect to this acquisition and identify alternatives or solutions. Also contact the MICC Advocate for Competition, Scott Kukes, at scott.d.kukes.civ@mail.mil or 210-466-3015, if you believe that this action is unreasonably restricting competition. Includethe subject of the acquisition, this announcement, and the MICC POC information from this notice. Provide the specific aspects that unreasonably restrict competition and the rationale for such conclusion.� Issues, disagreements, and/or recommendation to the Contracting Officer for resolution.� Please direct any questions regarding this notice to Mr. Jermain Compton, Contracting Officer, at jermain.m.compton.civ@mail.mil.� Please reference �Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Contract W91151-21-R-0017� in subject line.� � � �
