This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract with Resources Analysis Corporation (RAC) for the Supportability Management Assessment Report Tool (SMART) Software. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) is awarding a contract to RAC for a SMART software license that will deliver and support Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSS) solutions. The software provides a platform to update, procure, and maintain obsolescence configuration information across various programs, with services including material loading, data cleansing, real-time monitoring, software solutions with implementation and training, and data integration.

The estimated value of the SMART License is redacted for a base and four option periods through September 30, 2029. Market research was conducted with GSA, Ability One, GSA Advantage, and UNICOR, but no alternative sources were found. The justification states that RAC is the sole developer of the SMART licensed domain and the only source that can provide the specific software configuration needed for DMSS tracking and obsolescence management. The contract is being awarded under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for a sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.
