JA Reference Software Development_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a Reference Software Development contract for the 746th Test Squadron (746 TS). The contract involves external labor for software development and engineering support for the organization's unique test and evaluation capability within the Ultra High Accuracy Reference System (UHARS). The project requires maintaining and upgrading the reference system, which is critical to the 746 TS mission, with software development, technical engineering support, and ensuring proper updates to government-furnished equipment.

The document justifies a sole source requirement with Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S), citing that the company developed a specific filter and has proprietary source code for the software. Changing vendors would necessitate a complete software overhaul, potentially causing a one-year program delay and significant additional contract costs. The estimated contract is a firm fixed-price arrangement, with the 746 TS continuously monitoring the market for potential future competitive alternatives through trade journal reviews and conference attendance. The contracting activity is under PZ (Arnold) OL Holloman, with a purchase request number F2ETG15161A102, and the Contracting Officer determined on 17-Jul-2025 that only a single source is reasonably available.
