LIMITED-SOURCES JUSTIFICATION

AUTHORITY: FAR 8.405-6 and 40 U.S.C 501

SOL # 140D0421Q0008

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program.

1. Identification of the agency and contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Limited-Sources Justification.”

This Limited-Sources Justification is for the Department of the Interior (DOI), Interior Business Center (IBC), Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD), Division V, Branch II on behalf of the Business Integration Office (BIO).

2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved.

This limited source procurement is for the conversion/upgrade of currently held SAP licenses on behalf of the DOI/BIO provided by Carahsoft Technology Corporation. The contract type will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) for a 12-Month Base plus three (3) 12-Month options.

3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency’s needs (including the estimated value).

The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire SAP S/4 HANA software licenses and maintenance. This acquisition involves converting or upgrading several software licenses the DOI/BIO already owns, purchasing new licenses, and acquiring software maintenance on the converted/upgraded licenses and new licenses. Any software support provided must be provided by SAP National Security Services (NS2) contractors. NS2 contractors are U.S.

citizens who can access SAP Federal government systems.

The goal of this procurement is for the conversion/upgrade of the currently held licenses:

BIO existing SAP Licenses Converted To SAP HANA Runtime Edition (Material # 7018065)

HANA Enterprise Edition (BW, ECC, Native HANA) (Material # 7020053)

SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (Material # 7010516)

SAP BW/4HANA, Business Planning and Consolidation (Material # 7019372)

maintenance associated with this requirement. As a result, there are no other authorized SAP resellers capable of providing the NS2 services needed.

For the above reasons, it is determined that Carahsoft is uniquely qualified to provide the required conversion/upgrade of the SAP licenses currently held by the BIO, as listed under Sec. 3 above.

5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 8.404(d).

Pursuant to FAR 8.404 (d), GSA has already determined the prices of supplies and fixed price services offered under schedule contract GS-35F-0119Y to be fair and reasonable.

However, the AQD Contracting Officer will seek further price discounts in accordance with FAR 8.404 (d) and make a separate determination as to the reasonableness of the quote based on comparison to the government estimate, previous purchases, and current market pricing.

6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

Market research revealed the required professional services are available only from the developer SAP Public Services, Inc. as National Security Services (NS2) and its authorized resellers. Carahsoft Technology Corporation is identified by SAP as the only authorized reseller for the required professional services. This was verified through a review of SAP’s website as well as through direct contact with SAP. Per SAP, “DOI is currently a Secure Enterprise Support customer, which is a level of support only offered through SAP NS2.

Your understanding of Carahsoft’s exclusive relationship with SAP NS2 as stated on their website is correct.” As a result only Carahsoft is capable of fulfilling DOI’s needs for this requirement.

Sources AQD Plans to issue a non-competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) to Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract holder Carahsoft Technology Corporation for the purpose of entering into a task order under Carahsoft’s GSA Schedule GS-35F-0119Y.

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

As this is a limited source acquisition, the RFQ will be sent via email directly to Carahsoft Technology Corporation.

8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for supplies and services is made.

Future requirements will be evaluated on their own merit. To the maximum extent practicable, they shall be procured using full and open competition procedures unless otherwise determined, documented, and approved.

9. The ordering activity contracting officer’s certification that the justification is accurate and complete to the best of the contracting officer’s knowledge and belief.

I certify this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Michael Farrell Date Contracting Officer

10. Evidence that any supporting data that is the responsibility of technical or requirements personnel (e.g., verifying the Government’s minimum needs or requirements or other rationale for limited sources) and which form a basis for the justification have been certified as complete and accurate by the technical or requirements personnel.

I certify the technical data which forms a basis for this justification is complete and accurate and meet the Government’s minimum needs.

Lisa Wicks Date Contracting Officer’s Representative

11. For justifications under 8.405-6(a)(1), a written determination by the approving official identifying the circumstance that applies.

The basis for this justification is set forth in FAR 8.405-6(a)(l)(i)(B), Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.
