This is a Department of the Treasury SF 1014 Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity document for acquiring Precisely Change Data Capture Software Licenses for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The procurement is for software licenses to support the Unified Application Programming Interface (UAPI) initiative, specifically requiring Precisely Connect Change Data Capture (CDC) from Db2 z/OS to handle high-volume, low-latency data replication for mainframe environments.

The acquisition includes four primary product licenses: 3 Precisely Connect CDC Service Licenses for mainframe data replication, 1 Precisely GeoAddressing Service License, and 1 Precisely Professional Services package. The contract period spans a base year from 10/15/2025 to 10/14/2026, with three optional one-year extension periods through 10/14/2029. The Independent Government Cost Estimate is $7,800,000.00 for the base period and option years. The justification cites FAR 16.505(a)(4) for an exception to fair opportunity, noting the requirement is for an item peculiar to one manufacturer with brand name specifications.
