Company: CACI NSS, LLC..

Address: 4114 Legato Road

Fairfax, VA, 22033-4002 CAGE Code: 7LRZ3

6. Market Research: Market Research was conducted to identify vendors able to fulfill the requirement for (PD2 Migration/Upgrade) via GSA, NASA SEWP, SAM.gov, and the SBA DSBS database. Research under this requirement was restricted to PD2 support via CACI software and onsite professional services in order to fulfill the need at the DMA HQ Ft Meade, MD location. It was concluded that there are no small businesses that can fulfill this requirement. Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required. This requirement is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order on GSA and will be solicited as sole source to CACI NSS, LLC. Under existing GSA contract GS-35F-349CA.

Based on current market research, dated 24 January 2024 through 28 March 2024, it has been determined that only the aforementioned requirement for PD2 Migration & Upgrade provided by CACI NSS, LLC., can fully meet the Government’s need. This requirement is for proprietary products and/or product support and no competitor functional replacement products exist in the market at this time to meet the Government's need. The Government will continue to conduct market research to determine if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future competitive actions; i.e., there are similar products and/or product support in the marketplace that provides the same functionality, the original equipment manufacturer releases ownership rights of the product, or it is economically feasible to procure a new system.

Based on the justification provided, a determination has been made to issue a sole source solicitation to CACI NSS, LLC. for the above-described requirement.
