69 -- CONTRACTOR MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLY SUPPORT (CCMSS) The Government intends to negotiate and award, to Pulau Electronics Corporation, 12423 Research Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826, a FFP extension to the current Contractor Maintenance and Supply Support (CCMSS) contract. The extension will consist of a three month basic period and three 3-month options, which will provide a bridge contract, between the current contract (N61339-92-D-0006) and the competitively awarded follow-on contract (N61339-99-D-0007), for Life Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) for various training devices. The period of performance of the extension will commence on 1 Oct 99. The current contract provides total CCMSS for the following training devices, which are located worldwide at multiple Army installations and activities: Morse Mission Trainer (MMT), Signal Intelligence/Electronic Warfare (SIGNT/EW) Equipment Operator Simulator (SEOS), Corps Battle Simulation (CBS), Brigade/Battalion Simulation (BBS), Basic Electronic Maintenance Trainer (BEMT), Basic Morse Mission Trainer (BMMT), JANUS, Guardrail Maintenance Trainer (GRMT), Non-Communication Signal Recognition Trainer (NCSRT), G-2 Workstations, All Source Analysis System (ASAS), Trailblazer/Quickfix Maintenance Trainer (TQMT), and UN-Manned Aerial Vehicle Hunter Training Device (UAVHTD). These devices are used to provide initial and sustainment training to Officer, Warrant Officer, Noncommissioned Officer and Enlisted personnel. The contractor shall provide total CCMSS, which includes labor, maintenance, materials, supply support, and engineering services to ensure a minimum 90% availability rate within a specified repair turn around time. The extension of the current contract will be awarded per the authority at 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." Pulau has provided the CCMSS services under the current contract since 1 October 91. Award of the extension to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that could not be recovered through competition for the short period of performance cited. Additionally, Pulau personnel possess the requisite security clearances necessary for access at several of the training sites. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Government's requirements. See Note 22. Posted 08/16/99 (W-SN368013).
