1.04 Sole Source Justificaiton- Google Daston Corporation Final 1_Redacted.pdf

Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Procedures - MPT to SAT)

This is a Sole Source Justification document for a supply procurement under simplified procedures. The United States Naval Academy (requiring activity) is procuring an expansion of its existing Google Cloud Platform infrastructure from The Daston Corporation (contractor), on behalf of the original manufacturer Google LLC. The purchase request number is 1301382015, and the CAGE code for the contractor is 03HK9.

The requirement involves expanding the Naval Academy's existing Google platform footprint to support a data-centric project requiring FedRAMP Level 4 compliant data storage for ERP/Oracle data migration. The anticipated period of performance runs from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027. The justification emphasizes that no substitutes are available and that only Google Cloud Platform can fulfill the requirement due to system compatibility, integration capabilities, existing security and authentication infrastructure, and the platform's ability to natively integrate with current systems. The document notes this is a direct follow-on to an existing Google Cloud enterprise subscription (Purchase Order N0018925P0355) and that no other value-added reseller has access to the USNA Google Workspace/Enterprise Cloud environment. Additionally, the requirement supports the Google Gemini implementation under an existing contract (N0018924F0581). The Technical/Requirements Certification was signed on July 8, 2026, and the Contracting Officer has determined that the circumstances justifying only one source are reasonably available.
