Sole Source Justification_signed---_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document supporting a one-time purchase requisition for RSMeans Data Online licenses and subscription items for the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport Code 1022 in Keyport, Washington.

The contracting activity is the General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), Office of Contracting Operations, Long-Term Contracting Solutions Division. The requisition number is N00253619175531. The required supplies include RSMeans Data Online Full Library (10 units), a Complete Concurrent Subscription for a one-year annual license, and RSMeans Data Online Concurrent License allowing access to 10 users with only one simultaneous user. The sole source is The Gordian Group, Inc., the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of RSMeans Data Online. The justification restricts NAICS Code 513210 to RSMeans Data Online via The Gordian Group as the only source capable of providing the required licenses due to the product's proprietary, comprehensive cost-estimating database with over 85,000 unit price line items, localized quarterly-updated material and labor productivity rates, secure Federal Cloud platform hosting compliant with DoD CC SRG/FedRAMP Moderate security standards, and crew configuration specifications necessary for accurate Independent Government Estimates at NUWC Keyport. Market research conducted in July 2026 across JWOD/AbilityOne, FSSI, GSA Advantage, NASA SEWP, and DoW ESI yielded no alternative sources. The contracting officer, Tracy Harper, certified the justification on 8 July 2026 and determined the acquisition represents best value for the government as a brand-name-only purchase through one source.
