Notice of Contract Action

THIS PRESOLICITATION NOTICE IS HEREBY ISSUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR SUBPART 5.2.

The purpose of this notice is to announce the Space Rapid Capabilities Office's (SpRCO) intent to issue a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

SpRCO has determined that a sole source acquisition is appropriate for fulling this requirement. This requirement is considered commercial and any resultant contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR Part 15 to:

Galapagos Federal Systems LLC

112 Kuli Puu ST

Khei, Hawaii

CAGE Code: 7VP89

SpRCO intends to award a 3-month base with 3, 1-month option periods bridge contract to provide Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) Support Services to support SpRCO.

Award is subject to approval of the Sole Source justification. The bridge is necessary to maintain uninterrupted mission-critical support services while a protest to a FAR 15.3 8(a) competitive award is resolved, the acquisition is finalized and a transititon period is provided. The incumbent contractor has an established workforce with the required TS/SCI clearances, briefed to the SpRCO portfolio and domain expertise. Their familiarity with the operational environment and existing infrastructure enables them to provide seamless support. No other vendor can mobilize a similarly qualified team within the required timeframe. Failure to execute a 6-month (inclusion of options) bridge contract to the current contractor will result in a significant disruption to critical services that directly support mission-essential national security priorities. The incumbent workforce, comprising of approximately 100 FTEs with active TS/SCI security clearances, provides specialized support that cannot be readily replaced without incurring substantial delay and operational risk.

In accordance with FAR Part 5.203 this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations.
