Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Lead System Design Integrator

Additional Information: The Government has a recurring need for Lead System Design Integrator (LSDI) services in support of an existing program for which required tasks associated with performance of the LSDI include commercial engineering services, such as: design activities, fabrication activities of technically complex systems, and integration activities. Currently, the required services are being met through the General Services Administration's (GSA) OASIS contract (GS00Q14OADU108) via the MORPHEUS task order (TO) (47QFCA22F0047), which was awarded to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH). Task order 47QFCA22F0047 covers aspects of project design, development, engineering and integration, and operations and sustainment in support of the project; however, the MORPHEUS TO is reaching its ceiling causing its available ordering period to end prematurely, well before the Government's need for LSDI services is complete in 2030.
