About this file
This document is a sole source justification for the acquisition of TRAX software license renewal and annual support services from Sierra Nevada Corporation. The TRAX software supports the Move-Out, Jump-Out platform used to push data link packets and air-to-ground radio communications to units and other sites. The annual support contract and module upgrade are required to sustain the TRAX license and power the platform. Services to be acquired include TRAX v2.0 annual support, TRAX JREAP-A module, and associated annual support fee. A brand name justification is cited as only SNC provides the proprietary TRAX software compatible with the platform. Efforts to identify other potential sources included reviewing mandatory sources and posting to SAM.gov, resulting in one response that was interested. The contracting officer determined prices would be fair based on previous acquisitions of the same TRAX software and services. The solicitation will be competed on the GPE.
