Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) intends to negotiate solely with DRS Sustainment Systems Inc. (CAGE: 98255) for the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) RESET effort. This will include the inspection of up to 16 JAB systems to determine the level of repairs needed as well as execution of the repairs and replacement of parts to bring the JABs back to a like new status prior to fielding. This action will be incorporated, via a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract modification, in the current JAB contract, W56HZV-16-C-0028.  The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for this effort is Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2304(c) (1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” Specifically, FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) states, “Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.” The Government intends to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) directly to DRS, which will not be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE). All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.

The estimated period of performance is Oct 2021 – Jan 2023

The primary point of contact at ACC-DTA for this action is Christopher Miklasz and all questions or comments shall be sent via email at [email protected].
