Attachment 2 Brand Name Justification.pdf

This Brand Name Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document is for an Augment Code Purchase from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), seeking a cloud-hosted software development assistance platform. The government requires a one-year software license for an AI coding assistant with 24 Enterprise licenses, capable of operating on two specific IT systems (Material Support Division Information System and Low Demand/Low Density Requirements Management System) within a DoD-approved cloud environment.

Key requirements include generating application source code, supporting multiple programming languages, providing automated scaffolding, offering intelligent code suggestions, enabling collaborative development, and ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards. The document specifically justifies selecting Augment Code Enterprise as the sole provider, citing its unique ability to meet stringent requirements, achieve ISO 42001 certification, and pass SOC 2 Type 2 audit. The procurement is planned for 05-Jan-2026, with a competitive solicitation to be posted publicly, allowing all responsible sources and authorized resellers to submit quotes.
