About this file
This document is a Brand Justification for the annual renewal of the ACEIT software licensing and maintenance support for the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs. The justification states that ACEIT is the only product that currently meets the government's requirements for cost estimating and analysis, and that use of any other software would result in significant time and resource investments to procure, implement, and train personnel on a new system. The government conducted market research and found no other viable alternatives to ACEIT at this time. This requirement covers a base year and two 1-year option periods from FY24 to FY26. The solicitation number is N0003024R4004, and the government will evaluate all quotes or offers to determine a fair and reasonable price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).

addition, no other brand name can be used as the Government has Unlimited rights to ACEIT which provides the Government with Ultimate flexibility unlike any other product. Additionally, the automated features built-in to ACEIT have been proven to be reliable and has been designed to specifically meet the Government needs. Use of this product allows for maximum flexibility of use at minimal costs. ACEIT is the premier tool used by the government for analyzing, developing, sharing, and reporting cost estimates, providing a framework to standardize the estimating process.
Accordingly, use of products other than ACEIT would cause the Government to incur duplication costs via development of a new product or cause the Government to purchase a product with less capability/flexibility at a higher price than ACElT.
6. Market Research Conducted
In summary, market research conducted in FY24 determined that attempts to utilize an alternative product would require a significant investment of time, funding, and personnel resources to identify new software, validate requirements compliance, procure and install the new software, and train the command personnel required to use the software during a period that does not support suspension of ongoing analytical requirements utilizing the existing software ACEIT. ACEIT is the only product at this time that the DoD has developed that can provide the capabilities necessary to meet SSP requirements. Based on market research no other companies have been identified to have software that can meet the Government's needs at this time.
