FINDINGS

Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), Camp Lejeune, North Carolina has submitted a services requirement for artificial intelligence simulation software. The required services will be sole-sourced through H2A Analytics, with the period of performance projected for January and June 2025. The determinations for sole sourcing this requirement are below:

1. The required services are available from only one source with unique capabilities. MARSOC intends to award a sole source contract to H2 Analytics to provide technical services for the assessment of an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled exercise architecture system in a synthetic training environment applied to training exercises and certification exercises which integrates intelligence and operations scenario development information. The purpose is to conduct capability trials to de-risk future enterprise procurement. The services must include rapid model and scenario generation based on government provided information to the contract service provider. Physical and informational systems will not directly interface with the SOF Information Enterprise or indirectly through tactical network architecture; it will be stand-alone. Internet connected systems will be provided, on site, by the government for the purposes of this evaluation. The government will retain ownership of the exercise data and derived exercise-inject information created by the software for future utilization and in support of its intelligence exercise scenario development, delivery, and workforce evaluation requirements. H2 Analytics is the only responsible source able to support this requirement.
