Pre- Solicitation Synopsis Description: A previous Sources Sought Notice was issued under N0017820Q4402. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) announces its intention to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements” for the procurement of Integrated Budget, Planning and Execution System (IBPES) support in a Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) environment. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to issue a solicitation for a sole source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) / Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract with Decathalon Development Corporation (DDC) in support of software development and maintenance for the continued operation of Integrated Budget, Planning and Execution System (IBPES) in a Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) environment. A draft Statement of Work is attached. Of specific importance is the ability to build and support the interface of IBPES with the NMCI network via technical support that includes developing, testing, creating, and running scripts for report generation compatible with Navy/NSWCDD ERP interfaces. DDC has developed, tested, created and run scripts under its existing proprietary Application Server (AS) software, which interfaces the IBPES system with NMCI allowing for web browser application capability and report formatting and generation. IBPES is not accessible on the NMCI network without DDC's AS software. No other Contractor retains a currently developed line of scripts that are Department of the Navy Application and Database Management System (DADMS) approved and interfaces IBPES with NMCI. Additionally, procuring from another Contractor would require, at a minimum, development, validation, verification, and implementation of approximately 250 scripts as well as provide a developed, tested and DADMS approved middle tier AS which would allow for IBPES and NMCI functionality, resulting in duplication of cost and effort and a lapse in coverage during the period of script development, testing, and creation that would be unacceptable and detrimental to NSWCDD's ability to support the Navy. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact DDC directly. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or around 27 April 2020 and will be open for 30 days. Contract award is anticipated approximately around 6 January 2021.
