A3-Justification for Full and Open.pdf

This document is a Justification for Full and Open Competition for the DWDM TNMS Upgrade solicitation. The United States Marine Corps is seeking to upgrade their Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Transport Network Management System (TNMS) through full and open competition. The upgrade is required to keep the system up-to-date and address issues with the current legacy system. No small business set-asides or other restricted competition is planned for this procurement. The anticipated award date is November 2024, with a period of performance of 3 years. Pricing will be based on a firm-fixed-price contract. The incumbent for the current DWDM TNMS system is not identified. This document provides the justification for conducting the upgrade through full and open competition rather than using another contract vehicle or limiting competition.
