single_source_justification_1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract award. The contracting activity involves a KG-3X Software License for the KG-3X project/program. The estimated contract cost is redacted in the document. The government seeks annual support services for Green Hills Software's (GHS) MULTI Professional Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Professional Bundle 1, with technical support provided via telephone by a GHS Subject Matter Expert.

The justification documents that GHS's MULTI IDE and Professional Bundle products are proprietary and that no alternative vendors can provide equivalent technical services, establishing the basis for single-source procurement. Market research was conducted and a Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov from April 7-26, 2026, which yielded no competing responses, confirming the absence of viable alternatives. The contracting officer's determination, dated April 28, 2026, concludes that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The document recommends conducting future market surveys to identify potential alternative sources and mitigate future single-source awards. The purchase request/local ID number is listed as TBD, and this acquisition is not classified as a Bridge Action.
