OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS/CONTINUATION SHEET See Continuation Sheets DO Form 2222, 34 APR 85-796 267 This is in response to your request for information about a contract awarded to the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California. On May 20, 1985, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded contract NO014-86-H-0311 to the University of Southern California for SDI Communication Research. The contract was to be completed on March 31, 1989. At award, the estimated contract cost was $5,309,000. It was to be performed without fee. The contract was to be incrementally funded and the amount placed on contract at award was $1,157,000.00 (Enclosure 1). The contract was awarded as competitive pursuant to Subpart 6.102 (d) (2) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) under which award was made is at Enclosure 2. In March 1987, a news account, stating that there may have been other sources available to perform the contract, resulted in review of the award by senior contracting, scientific and legal officials at ONR. Contracting and legal officials concluded that the University of Southern California proposal may not have been within the scope of the BAA for ONR long range scientific products, and directed a further review of the potential effects of terminating the contract. Based on this further review, the contract was restructured to (1) eliminate requirements which had not yet been substantially performed, (2) reduce the period of performance by sixteen months, and (3) reduce the estimated cost to $2,562,000. Modification P002 effecting these changes to the contract and adding the final funding increment is set forth at Enclosure 3. ONR advises that the work eliminated by Modification P0002 was incorporated into a solicitation under which competitive offers were solicited pursuant to Subpart 15.4 of the FAR. ONR further advises that three offers were received, and that the University of California has been selected for award. The estimated cost of this award is $5,965,356.00. William H. Corral WILLIAM H.
