Limited Sources Justification (LSJ)

This is a Limited Sources Justification document for a single-source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) award under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule Program. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is procuring an Appellate Case Management System (ACMS) – Single Source BPA Award from Procentrix for performance-based call orders valued at $1.5-2 million annually for a period beginning September 28, 2026, and ending August 27, 2027, with four additional option years available.

The justification cites the authority for limiting sources under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C), establishing that the new work represents a logical follow-on to an original FSS order (Blanket Purchase Agreement A09CLERK21-0001) previously awarded to Procentrix under GSA Schedule 70, Schedule SIN 54151S. The Court estimates that switching to a new vendor would cost an additional $750,000 to $800,000 due to discovery, onboarding, knowledge transfer, parallel operations, testing, and transition remediation. The BPA will cover ACMS production operations, maintenance, support, limited development services, corrective and adaptive maintenance, production support, user support, training, minor enhancements, and technical sustainment. Market research was not conducted because Procentrix's existing product familiarity with architects and program managers provides cost and efficiency advantages that outweigh competitor options. The document is signed by John Lansing (Procurement Department), Contracting Officer Shawn Swim, and Approving Official Molly Dwyer (Clerk of Court), dated September 28, 2026.
