4. IDENTIFICATION OF AUTHORITY:

This Justification based upon the authority of the Multiple Award Schedule program is derived from Title III of the Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 251, et seq.) and Title 40 U.S.C.

501, Services for Executive Agencies, and implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6 (a)(1)(i)(B).

5. DEMONSTRATION OF CONTRACTORS UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS:

This acquisition is for a software version upgrade and establishment of yearly maintenance renewal of Gupta SQLBase software that was previously bought and is in use as an embedded component of the ATIS application. ATIS is in use and deployed throughout the Navy at shore sites and onboard Naval vessels, Gupta is the manufacturer (developer) of the software which is proprietary to them.

The software is available through authorized retailers. The products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the government’s requirement which is used within ATIS throughout the Navy. This procurement is required to upgrade and license software to a supported version and satisfies an otherwise open category one (1) finding of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Application Security and Development Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG).

The software for which this maintenance is required by the Government has been embedded and is vital to the successful operation of the ATIS application that utilizes it. If any other vendor product is used, the system would be required to be re-written to interact with the proprietary database. If the software is not upgraded, the system will not be able to be granted an Approval to Operate (ATO) and could receive a Denial of Approval to Operate (DATO). This would leave all US Navy ships and submarines without the capability to view required engineering drawings, interactive technical manuals and other engineering publications to support operation and maintenance of the vessels.

Additionally, failure to have active maintenance on the current software product loaded on a DoD system is an Information Assurance Category I finding that may result in the system losing its Authority To Operate (ATO). Without the upgrades and patches provided under software maintenance agreements a system is vulnerable to viruses. This action is taken to be in compliance with DoD Instruction 8500.01E – Information Assurance; and, DoD Instruction 8500.2 – Information Assurance Implementation.

6. ANNOUNCEMENT/POTENTIAL SOURCES:

The required software and maintenance is listed under GSA Schedule contract GS-35F-0511T.

This requirement will be posted to GSA e-Buy as a brand name action.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST:

The Naval Sea Logistics Center Contracting Officer will determine that the price negotiated for this acquisition is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR, Part 8.

8. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET SURVEY:

Market research revealed that the required software and maintenance is available through a small business GSA contract. It is also available on open market at an increased cost.

9. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING FACTS: N/A

10. LISTING OF OTHER INTERESTED SOURCES: N/A

11. ACTIONS TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION:
