NASA intends to award a sole-source contract extension to SGT, Inc. pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA's GSFC) Flight Projects Directorate. This procurement is to extend Contract NAS5-03079 for a period of up to 6-months from April 28, 2008 through October 27, 2008 and increase the maximum ordering value in order to allow sufficient time to award the follow-on procurement. This extension will allow for a continuation of current delivery orders issued, for modifications to existing delivery orders, and for new work until the Program Analysis and Control (PAAC III) competitive follow-on contract is awarded. The contract extension and maximum ordering value increase are necessary in order to ensure program continuity and critical mission support and to avoid significant technical and programmatic impacts to GSFC. The Goddard Space Flight Center has the responsibility for planning and managing spacecraft flight hardware systems, ground systems, launch vehicles, and research instrumentation payloads. This responsibility encompasses all phases of project implementation from conceptual studies through definition, design and development, fabrication, integration, launch, preparation for pre- and post-launch operations, satellite servicing, data acquisition, processing, distribution, analysis, and archiving. To develop and manage projects (present and future) and to respond to its assigned responsibilities, GSFC requires contractor services to include planning and scheduling, configuration management, management information systems, documentation/library, general business, and general accounting in support of the planning, managing, and executing flight activity in the Flight Projects Directorate and supporting directorates.
