Black Box JA_Redacted_1.pdf

The document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract with Black Box, issued by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The contract (HDTRA125C0013) is being awarded under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for acquiring proprietary code to enhance the accuracy of Hypervelocity Thermal Damage (HTD) weapons modeling within the Integrated Munitions Effect Assessment (IMEA) software tool. The contract was awarded to an undisclosed vendor on February 21, 2025, with the specific contract amount also being redacted. The justification indicates that this is a unique procurement where no other services will satisfy the agency's specific technical requirements, thereby warranting a non-competitive acquisition process.
