Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), Crane, IN intends to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract for one (1) 100 day base period of performance (PoP), and one (1) 60 day option period with Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102.

This effort will be conducted on a sole-source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.  The basis for restricting competition is the unacceptable lapse in PEO USC support services.  Any interruption in support services for PEO USC would negatively affect mission readiness, quality of life for U.S. Navy sailors and their families, and long-term costs to the taxpayer. BAH is the only vendor capable of continuing to provide the Navy uninterrupted engineering support services.

A formal solicitation will not be issued.
