This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document issued by the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Patuxent River, Maryland.

The Naval Air Warfare Center PMA-226 Adversary and Specialized Aircraft Program Office requires CORAS AI Agentic Software for analyzing and aggregating data across the PMA-226 portfolio. The software will support multiple Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) by combining data from their individual requirements into a comprehensive, analyzable dataset. CORAS AI is proprietary software developed by COURASCloud Inc., featuring a unique Large Language Model capability unavailable from other vendors. The contracting activity will issue a competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) for this brand-name product as a delivery order on the NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) V GWAC contract vehicle. The performance period is six months with an additional six-month option period. The estimated dollar value for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 is redacted in the document. The Contracting Officer has determined that COURASCloud Inc. possesses the requisite knowledge, technical capability, and technical data necessary for modification and delivery of the CORAS AI Software. Fair and reasonable pricing has been established through price analysis of existing NASA SEWP V contracts, demonstrating adequate price competition among vendors. The Government indicated it will continue evaluating alternative technologies and conduct market research to determine if future competitive options become available.
