24Q0079_Non-Comp_Redacted.pdf

This is a summary of a sole source justification document related to Federal Contract Opportunity N0016424Q0079 for software licenses from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The justification document proposes a sole source award for unspecified software licenses to an unnamed incumbent due to a lack of other suppliers for the required products, the extensive compatibility and integration required with the incumbent's existing software, and the excessive costs that would be incurred by the government to transition to alternate suppliers. No pricing or quantity information is provided. The justification cites the need to maintain critical capabilities and minimize disruption as rationale for restricting competition and directly awarding a follow-on contract to the incumbent for an unknown period.
