D-F Below SAT - Part 8_Delta8-10SOPS_IBMClearCase_redacted_Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document authorizing single-source procurement for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software support. The procurement supplies OEM software support for security vulnerability fixes and feature enhancements for DELTA 8/10 SOPS operations and maintenance of Fleet Satellite Communications (FLTSATCOM), Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Follow-On (UFO), and Multi User Objective System (MUOS) satellite constellations.

The required items are three floating-user annual software renewals: ClearCase Floating User Annual Software Renewal (MFG Part# E0131LL), Change Management Solution Floating User Annual Software Renewal (MFG Part# E012XLL), and ClearQuest Floating User Annual Software Renewal (MFG Part# E0130LL). ClearCase serves as the source code repository for all changes, while ClearQuest runs in a Windows environment to execute DELTA 8/10 SOPS Change Proposals and Error Analysis and Enhancement Reports applications for tracking system changes. The single-source justification is cited under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name), finding that the particular brand name, product, and features are essential to Government requirements and that similar products from other companies do not meet the agency's needs or cannot be modified to meet minimum requirements. The Contracting Officer approved the determination on May 27, 2026.
