4.03 SSJ At or Below SAT Justification 2026 _Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document submitted under simplified procedures (Micropurchase to SAT) for federal contract opportunity N4657926PR00183.

The U.S. Navy Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department is procuring as-needed reactive and advisory support services for a critical SharePoint environment experiencing multiple outages and degraded service. The required services include incident management, Microsoft-led Built-In Proactive Services, and on-site support to stabilize the SharePoint environment supporting Business Systems Office 60 (BSO 60). The performance period runs from September 4, 2026 through September 3, 2027, with an estimated contract value that is redacted in the document. The contractor is restricted to Microsoft (CAGE Code 60128), with no competition permitted under FAR 12.102(a).

The justification asserts that Microsoft is the sole capable source because it is the exclusive developer and proprietor of SharePoint, possessing proprietary knowledge, internal engineering team access, source-level diagnostics, and advanced diagnostic tools inaccessible to third-party vendors. The document emphasizes that only Microsoft engineers possess the necessary technical authority to perform the required assessment and reconfiguration of the environment. Multiple engineering teams have failed to resolve the configuration issues, making direct intervention by the original platform owner imperative due to the mission-critical nature of the outages and their significant operational impact on BSO 60 functions. The document was certified on July 28, 2026 by a USFF technical representative and approved by the Contracting Officer.
