Brand Name Justification:
I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Mural for the Mural Software Renewal. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 5/31/24 - 12/31/2025.
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
This procurement is in support of multiple NASA projects and working groups to renew Mural Enterprise Licensing and annual Mural Membership. This is a whiteboarding and collaboration tool used across the NASA projects and working groups. Maintaining licensing and membership allows for continued use of the product.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Deviating away from Mural licensing and membership would require the NASA working groups and projects to stop using Mural. This would result in work stoppage while research is completed to obtain another product and training is completed for the new product. This would be adverse to the NASA mission due to time and budget constraints.
