This document is a Justification for Sole Source (Simplified Acquisitions) for the National Defense University (NDU) to renew Asset Essentials software from Brightly Software, Inc. The procurement is for software renewal with a base period from 21 April 2025 and four optional one-year extension periods through 21 April 2029. The total contract value includes separate pricing for North and South campus locations, with a base year cost of $7,075.17 for North campus and $5,059.94 for South campus, with consistent pricing for each optional year.

Brightly Software is being selected as the sole source provider because they currently support NDU's project management, work order services, trouble call tracking, and inventory control across both campus locations. The company's Asset Essentials software is uniquely tailored to NDU's specific needs, compatible with Siemens systems, and critical to the university's facility operations. NDU's market research concluded that no other software in the marketplace offers comparable features, capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. The procurement is being handled by the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Office, with a firm-fixed price order anticipated.
