Notice of Intent to Award a Bridge Contract to Falconwood, Inc.   3

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) on behalf of the Program
Executive Office for Digital and Enterprise Services (PEO Digital) and PEO Manpower,
Logistics, and Business Solutions (PEO MLB) intends to issue a sole source solicitation for
a bridge contract for Engineering and Logistics Services to support PEO Digital and PEO
MLB (Solicitation # N00039-21-R-0037) to Falconwood, Inc., 2231 Crystal Drive, Suite
801, Arlington, CA 22202.
The efforts are currently being performed under SeaPort-e task order N00178-14-D-
7716/N0003917F3002. Sole source actions are not possible under SeaPort NxG
(formerly SeaPort-e). Consequently, a new contract (bridge contract) using the existing
Performance Work Statement will be negotiated with Falconwood.
This prospective award is based on the authority for other than full and open competition
found at 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B), follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly
specialized services. Falconwood supports PEO Digital and PEO MLB and their subordinate
programs, providing engineering, cyber, logistics, training, and enterprise services
supporting both CONUS and OCONUS networks. Falconwood provides critical
engineering and logistics services throughout PEO Digital and PEO MLB and has been
providing these services for nearly two decades. Falconwood possesses highly-
specialized program specific knowledge, skills and expertise through the performance of
the existing contract, which cannot be readily duplicated between the end of the current
SeaPort-e task order and award of multiple SeaPort NxG pending competitive task
orders.
Given the complexity and magnitude of this requirement, award to other than the
incumbent would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the needs of PEO Digital and
PEO MLB. Delays in fulfilling this requirement would cause interruptions to NMCI
accessibility. Any interruptions to NMCI would result in severely degraded operational
capabilities for all USN, and USMC military, civilian, and contractor personnel.
The prospective bridge contract is planned to be a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract
type, including a cost reimbursable Other Direct Cost CLIN, with a performance period of
up to 3 months, for an estimated price of $14,500,000.00, to be awarded in Fiscal Year
2021.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS; however,
all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be
considered by the agency. The Government will not reimburse firms for any costs
associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice.
The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541330 Engineering Services. The Product
Service Code for this requirement is R425, Support Professional:
