FAR Part 16 EFO-BNJ Adobe Connectv2._Redacted.pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification document under FAR Part 16.505(a)(4)(i) for orders placed against multiple award IDIQ contracts, prepared by the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Procurement Division for Adobe Connect Meeting Managed Services renewal.

The USMS Information Technology Division requires Adobe Connect Managed Services licenses/subscriptions to facilitate online collaboration and learning for the Training Division. The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed price (FFP) delivery order with one base year (August 29, 2025 – August 28, 2026) and two optional years extending through August 28, 2028. The requirement includes Adobe Connect Meeting Managed Services (10 licenses) and Connect Training Managed Services (190 licenses) for each period, with all managed services billed in advance annually. The estimated total value is redacted in the document. The justification cites four critical requirements that only Adobe Connect can meet: access across secure and non-secure networks, curriculum posting and persistent content capabilities, mandatory TTO onboarding compliance, and enhanced virtual training capabilities. Adobe Connect meets FedRAMP accreditation and operates at Defense Information Systems Agency Impact Level 4, ensuring compliance with DOJ security standards. The procurement will be conducted through the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) competition, with pricing determined as fair and reasonable based on the existing IDIQ contract structure and historical price analysis.
