A23 Redacted JA -SOLE SOURCE_Redacted.pdf

This is a FAR 13 Justification for Sole Source Acquisition form submitted by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Contract Services Directorate to solicit a sole source requirement and award a contract/order.

DFAS Columbus, located at 3990 East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio, seeks to renew Help Desk Support and System Assistance agreements for the GP System supporting the Trust Funds Reporting System (TFRS) at DFAS Indianapolis. The procurement covers annual renewal and two option years of Microsoft Dynamics GP Help Desk Support and System Assistance services. The performance period runs from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2029, with options included. The justification identifies Velosio as the sole capable source, as their pre-packaged preventative maintenance and services and custom setup within the GP product are exclusive to Velosio. Since Microsoft Dynamics GP is end-of-life software scheduled for replacement by the end of the performance period, switching support vendors would be costly and time-consuming, as a new vendor would need to understand the customer's Velosio setup within MS CRM's Great Plains system to support TFRS. The custom setup is used daily throughout the TFRS data operations and cannot be replicated by other sources. Velosio expressed written interest in the acquisition. The contracting officer and technical reviewer have certified the justification in good faith, and legal sufficiency review has been completed. No other facts supporting the sole source determination are identified, and the estimated contract value and specific option details are redacted from the document.
