Attachment 4 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a brand name procurement. The justification is for TimeControl licensing support and maintenance for the USCG C5ISC (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber and Intelligence Service Center), specifically to renew licenses for high-volume field data collection software. The procurement is for 342 users and 1,754 crew, with a period of performance from July 6, 2025 to July 5, 2026. Heuristic Management Systems Inc. is the sole source vendor, as TimeControl is the only brand compatible with USCG's internal systems like GovTA, CAS, and NESSS. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside with a brand name only requirement, and award will be made to the lowest-price technically acceptable quote, with responses due by May 10, 2025 at 12:00 PM EST.
