About this file

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition for Salesforce Software Licenses supporting the Program Executive Office (PEO) Enterprise. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal (ACC-RI) intends to award a direct sole source contract to Computable Insights, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salesforce) to establish an Enterprise Agreement (EA) for Salesforce software licenses. The procurement will consolidate current Salesforce software contracts and provide licenses for critical capabilities including low-code/no-code software-as-a-service, scalable software platform for managing meeting requests, powerful analytics, automation, and workflow tools across 22+ program offices.

The justification emphasizes that Salesforce is the only FedRAMP High IL4 multi-tenant software vendor that can address recruiting modernization requirements, meets government security standards, and supports the Army's Accessions Information Environment (AIE) system. Market research conducted through CHESS RFI confirmed no alternative vendors could meet the Army's unique requirements. The contract aims to save costs by eliminating pass-through expenses from distributors/resellers, with the government expecting significant savings by procuring directly from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The estimated contract value is redacted, but the procurement is authorized under 10 United States Code 3204(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2) for unique source requirements.

To support the above responsibilities of the U.S. Army, PEO Enterprise will award a standard FFP contract directly to Salesforce to establish an Army EA

The EA will provide customers access to licenses for the following capabilities:

Low code, no code software as a service (SaaS) provider, which eliminates the need for customized coding and software development.

Include a scalable software platform currently used to manage meeting requests for data access, seamless coordination across 22+ program offices, powerful analytics, and automation.

Produce metrics for end-to-end contextual visibility and transparency.

Ensure data is easily searchable and quickly configured to support dashboard visualizations to track progress, meeting status, license use and analysis on volume so that it is more easily searchable.

Produce workflows that inform users and vendors to reduce the burden of manual data entry.

Provide enhancements to the existing platform to improve automation and overall performance.

Provide access to Digital Market Place ordering and IT E-Mart capability.
