This is a Justification Review Document for a Limited Source Justification for the Civilian Human Resource Agency (CHRA). The document details a one-time purchase of Groundswell's Audit, Inspection, and Review Solution (AIRS) on the Appian Platform for CHRA, to be implemented through a Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) Blanket Purchase Agreement.

The procurement is specifically for AIRS software to support CHRA's transition from the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) to the Enterprise Business System - Convergence (EBS-C). Market research confirmed Groundswell as the sole vendor capable of providing the required AIRS software, which will seamlessly integrate with EBS-C and address critical audit functionality gaps. The purchase includes Advanced Platform User licenses, a Signature Level Success Plan, program subscription licenses to develop applications on the Appian low-code platform, Groundswell Configuration, and Groundswell AIRS services. The total procurement is based on an Independent Government Estimate, with CHRA required to independently test AIRS in a second phase of implementation focusing on benefits-related financial processes.
