- Description
- The AATD Contracting Division, Army Contracting Command, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 13.501 with Aerodyne Research, Inc. a new firm fixed price, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The proposed contract action is for software engineering services for the support of the tri-service standard code Spectral and Imaging band Radiometric Imaging of Targets and Scenes (SPIRITS) used on Government test equipment and is only available from the company named in this notice. SPIRITS is the tri-service standard code for the Modeling and Simulation of Infrared (IR) signature data. Use of any code other than SPIRITS for this purpose would take considerable time and monies in gaining certifications and acceptance among all agencies. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government, to modify and upgrade the existing code than to replace it. Aerodyne Inc, as the author of the SPIRITS code and as the entity responsible for code maintenance, installation support, release preparation and training holds considerable expertise and capability with this code. As such this company is very much qualified to carry out the tasks of this contract and holds industry contacts and support as well as having authority over this codes' evolution, which allows for an ideal situation for improving the capability of the SPIRITS software. Further, the Government lacks sufficient software documentation to support another source making modifications and improvements to the SPIRITS code within available time and budget. There is no source other than Aerodyne Inc. to provide the level of system-specific expertise and background needed to successfully support, modify and upgrade the SPIRITS code in the manner specified. No request for quotes/proposals will be posted. Interested sources may identify interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The Government will review and consider all capabilities statements or proposals received within the closing date set in this notice. The Government retains the sole discretion on the decision whether or not to conduct a competitive competition based upon information received in response to this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Submit inquiries regarding this procurement to: Army Contracting Command (ACC), ATTN: Hope A. McClain (CCAM-RDT), 401 Lee Boulevard, Fort Eustis, Va. 23604-5577. Point of contact is Hope McClain at (757)878-2993 or hope.a.mcclain@us.army.mil.
