DON SAP Single Source Giraffe Final_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a federal acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is for a one-year license of Giraffe Enterprise workspace, a virtual platform for construction planning for NAVFAC Projects worldwide. As part of the EXWC Innovation Pipeline, the platform was selected after reviewing 50-100 Artificial Intelligence platforms, with GiraffAI being the only one meeting specific requirements: browser-based, lightweight, and highly capable.

The total estimated price for the one-year license is redacted. The procurement aims to test the platform's viability for long-term government needs, with the goal of saving government time and money in project evaluation from early planning stages. The document justifies the single-source procurement under the "Brand Name" exception, noting that other platforms reviewed were either not allowed, too large, or less capable. The document is dated August 2018 and is associated with the EXWC (Expeditionary Warfare Center) and NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command).
