The ANG ISR, C2 and Security Support Contract Intent to Sole Source

Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the National Guard Bureau, Operational Contracting Division, Arlington, VA, intends to solicit a contract modification, on a sole source basis, to PatchPlus Consulting Inc., Medford, NJ, for Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Command and Control (C2), and Security Technical Support Services. This modification will extend the contract by 2 months with an additional one-month optional period. The contract for ISR C2 and Security Technical Support Service is to provide technical and subject matter expertise for the overall ANG ISR, C2, and Security portfolio. Award to the current contractor, PatchPlus Consulting Inc. is the only way to continue services without breaching the Nation’s commitments or creating a disastrous position for the United States. Specifically, the importance to the Air National Guard, this modification extension ensures no break in these critical services. A gap would represent an unacceptable high risk to the U.S. and other territories. This will give the Government the additional time required to solicit a five year contract on a competitive basis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement to the National Guard Bureau, Operational Contracting Division, via e-mail at mailto: ng.ncr.ngb-arng.mbx.aq-it@army.mil on
