CUISource Selection Information See FAR 2.101 & 3.104

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), as implemented by the FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The unique qualifications described below apply to performance under SP4701-19-C-0021.

5. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE

QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF CITED

AUTHORITY:

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), the services required by DLA are available from only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy the Agency’s requirements. The subject services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of this follow-on modification for the continued provision of highly specialized services because it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency’s requirements.

The additional services to be procured by virtue of this modification are needed to sustain development efforts and maintain both the USMC and DFAS legacy financial systems within the DAI Infrastructure. It is essential that CACI continue performing the development services in order to maintain the DAI Program’s schedule/milestones for development Releases 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0, which are scheduled to be put into production during Option Year 2 and Option Year 3.

CACI’s ability to provide highly specialized services in support of DAI is essential to maintaining continuous, effective, and reliable support specific to the supported community.

CACI’s in-depth knowledge of the DAI Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and technical expertise is necessary to manage the DAI Infrastructure support services such as Agency Solution Reviews, Process Mock events, Data Conversion Mocks and Data Conversion cutover support, Business Process Re-Engineering support, Agency Training support, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development. This functional and technical support is required for DAI to address financial standards in effect for the entire Federal Government and DoD, as well as support standard processes using a single architecture to support multiple financial and diverse components. No other contractors could successfully provide the required services in the timeframes necessary without a significant delay and/or interruption of services.

The CACI Team possesses unique and highly specialized knowledge and capability with regard to the DAI applications requirements based on their extensive knowledge and experience with the program application and operating environment. The CACI Team has unparalleled knowledge of the Functions, Data, and Customers (and their expectations), as well as the partner interfaces as it relates to the various systems. The CACI Team is the only contractor that has the expert ability to configure and customize unique functionality based upon their detailed knowledge of DoD financial and procurement processes as it relates to the DAI application.

To date, the CACI Team has achieved every major program milestone (within their control – scope/schedule) as planned in the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) at the cost and price awarded. At this juncture, attempting to transition the program to a new contractor team would result in major impacts to the Schedule (Acquisition Program Baseline) and the Program’s ability to meet DoD Audit Readiness goals. Schedule impacts place the program at risk of mission failure, ultimately impacting multiple DoD and Federal agencies supported by the Program.

Award to an alternate source for this period would result in unacceptable delays, increased performance risks, and interruption of services. The result would be a severe, negative impact on meeting the mission needs for DAI deployments for the USMC and DFAS in a timely manner and an inability to support the DoD priority of reducing financial audit findings for agencies and organizations currently using legacy financial systems. This effort must be coordinated not only through the traditional development, integration, and training, but must also managed in accordance with an integrated master plan that takes into account a number of intersecting and mutually supporting programs. Program delays would result in a negative impact on the DoD agencies utilizing DAI because it would result in numerous unresolved Notice of Findings and Recommendations from financial audits that would remain unresolved.

The current DAI budgeting tool (Oracle Hyperion) is close to end of life. The DAI PMO must implement the Oracle EPM to ensure the stakeholders have the required budgeting tools and capabilities needed to complete their mission. Failure to obtain support for EPM would prevent the DAI PMO from completing the required initial connection approval process, which takes a minimum of 6 months to complete, and must be done before the DAI Release 5.0 software development lifecycle can be started, which is estimated to begin October 2022. Failure to complete the connection approval process would prevent the DAI PMO from implementing the EPM solution, thus resulting in the loss of budgeting capability for 25 stakeholder agencies.

Additionally, the DAI PMO is looking to proactively conduct performance tuning on the entire DAI system (hardware architecture and software suite). This is needed due to the ever-growing user base and complex integration between the numerous technologies that make up DAI.

Without these performance tuning sessions, the PMO cannot ensure the system will run optimally and will risk system latency/downtime during timecard weeks, month-end, and year-end activities.

6. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE

SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE:

As discussed above, no other sources are capable of meeting this requirement without causing unacceptable delays. A redacted Justification & Approval will be posted to Contract Opportunities under the System for Award Management (SAM.gov).
