Attachment 4_MFR Brand Name Justification for SLD 30 PA GOVDELIVERY SERVICE_CO_S_20260714 _Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Record documenting a sole source justification for a federal contract award by the Department of the Air Force, United States Space Force, Space Launch Delta 30.

The document justifies the selection of Granicus, LLC (GovDelivery) as the sole source provider for Cloud Communications GovDelivery brand services. According to GSAR 538.7104-4, the Government determined that the GovDelivery brand name constitutes a proprietary requirement unique to a single manufacturer, as the technical characteristics are exclusive to Granicus and its associated schedule contract. Granicus is identified as the only vendor offering the proprietary GovDelivery Network, which currently serves over 30,000 active agency subscribers in a pre-existing pool. The justification establishes that migration to an alternative platform would introduce severe technical and operational risks, including IP warming delays, disruption to critical daily mission communications, and loss of organic subscriber growth driven by the shared federal network. Market research concluded that Granicus is the sole provider meeting all technical and compliance requirements, including FedRAMP certification for notification and newsletter services compatible with the current operating system. The Contracting Officer certifies that the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable and that the sole source justification is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge and belief.
