Purpose: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is conducting market research for the Medium Range Ballistic Missile Type 1/Type 2 (MRBM T1/T2) target vehicles to include Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and Project Management Support (PMO). The information contained herein only initiates communication with industry in order to assess market potential. No solicitation document exists at this time. This Request for Information (RFI) constitutes no Government obligation to procure these items or issue a solicitation. The Government does not have an obligation to pay for information responding to this RFI and will not accept any responses as offers. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(d)(2), the Government will allow for capacity statements for follow-on contracts. MDA is seeking alternate sources that can provide Integrated Logistics Support to support the Missile Defense System test program. If no alternate sources are identified for the ILS, the Government intends to issue a sole source modification on the MRBM T1/T2 Contract, HQ0147-14-C-0001 to Aerojet Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace Inc. (ARCA), CAGE 7VXX4, 7675 Municipal Dr., Orlando, FL 32819-8930 under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Based on currently available information, MDA believes that only ARCA is capable of providing the required services without substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays, since ARCA owns the MRBM T1/T2 Technical Data Package. The period of performance for this effort will be the existing contract period of performance ending on December 31, 2029. Under the modification discussed above, the existing MRBM T1/T2 contract period of performance will not be extended. This notice is intended to meet the requirements of both FAR Part 5 and DFARS PGI 206.302-1. MDA is also seeking alternate sources that can provide Program Management Support which is required for project planning, managing schedule, quality assurance, control and management of funding, technical performance, government communications, managing risk, and overall mission success. The Contractor maintains personnel with appropriate experience and qualifications are in place to ensure the success of MRBM target development and integration, target launch preparation, and target launch. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a sole source modification for PMO on the MRBM T1/T2 Contract, HQ0147-14-C-0001 to Aerojet Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace Inc. (ARCA), CAGE 7VXX4, 7675 Municipal Dr., Orlando, FL 32819-8930 under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
