This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a firm-fixed-price contract. The United States School of Aerospace Medicine, Public Health Department, Epidemiology Consult Service Division (USAFSAM/PHR) seeks SAS® ESD Software maintenance licenses and new licenses. The contracting activity is AFRL/PZLET, and the project is titled "SAS Software Maintenance and New Licenses." The estimated contract cost and specific purchase request/local ID number are redacted. The contract type is firm-fixed-price (FFP) with FY26 0130000 funding, IDIQ 47QTCA18D0081, covering a license access and maintenance period from 01 May 2026 through 30 April 2027.

The justification asserts that SAS® ESD Software is the only known brand capable of providing the required services without unacceptable delays. USAFSAM/PHR conducted market research through GSA Advantage and direct phone and email inquiries to the contractor to confirm no equivalent products exist. While SAS® ESD Software is available through select third-party resellers for first-time license rights, renewals are exclusively available through Executive Information Systems, LLC. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that single-source acquisition is reasonably justified. USAFSAM/PHR commits to continued market monitoring and competition efforts for future acquisitions to preclude similar single-source awards.
