- Description
- J&A 052-13 LSJ 051-13 DHS has a requirement on a sole source basis to extend the interim bridge contract vehicle HSHQDC-12-F-00048 for up to 4 months (4) for critical research and development (R&D) laboratory operations and associated technical support services, specifically explosive detection portfolio in the areas of checkpoint, check bag, air cargo, standoff detection, explosive blast effects, and emerging technologies. The proposed period of performance for this action is February 16, 2013 through April 15, 2013 with two (2) one month options. The current Task Order HSHQDC-12-F-000048 was awarded on June 1, 2012 for a period of 6 months as a sole source award under DHS LSJ No. 071-12 on an interim measure until such time as the award of a follow-on contract vehicle can be made through full and open competition. Since the expiration of this period of performance, the contract was extended IAW FAR Clause 52.217-8 (Option to Extend Services) beginning on December 1, 2012 through February 15, 2013 and was processed under DHS LSJ No. 005-13 and approved by the OPO Competition Advocate. The purpose of LSJs 071-12 and 005-13 was to provide TSL with continued contract coverage while a newly competitive contract vehicle could be solicited. On November 23, 2012, OPO issued Request for Quotation HSHQDC-12-Q-00264 under GSA e-Buy. The Solicitation closed on December 21, 2013 and a total of four (4) proposals were received. RFQ HSHQDC-12-Q-00264 includes the research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E) services that are presently covered under the interim bridge task order. The estimated milestone timeline for the award of new contract vehicles under the RFQ exceeds the period of performance available on the current task order and it is critical that TSL continue to maintain contract coverage while the RFQ proposal evaluations are underway. The estimated award timeline is March, 2013. For this proposed action, LSJ No. 051-13 has been coordinated and approved by the OPO Competition Advocate. For this proposed extension, Other Direct Material Costs (ODC) will be required in order to perform the services. In accordance with the requirements of FAR 8.402(f) and competition requirements of FAR Part 6, an open market J&A document has been prepared to cover the ODC portion of this action. The approved LSJ No. 051-13 and J&A No. 052-13 are attached.
