Atch 1 - FreeFlyer_LSJ_Redacted.pdf

This Limited Sources Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports the 50th Contracting Squadron's procurement of FreeFlyer yearly license fees from a.i. solutions, Inc. The document justifies a sole-source procurement for FreeFlyer, a mission-critical multipurpose scriptable software suite used by multiple federal agencies including NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Defense. FreeFlyer is the only software that meets unique specifications for commercial satellite operations, and a.i. solutions, Inc. holds the proprietary rights.

The J&A highlights that no alternative software solutions exist without requiring lengthy and expensive modifications, which would severely impact mission capabilities. The procurement will be conducted through the GSA Advantage program, with market research confirming no other software can meet the required functionality. The vendor will provide GSA FreeFlyer Mission Network Maintenance licenses, with the contracting officer determining best value based on the vendor's unique position as the proprietary owner and distributor of the FreeFlyer software.
