UNITED STATES CYBER COMMAND

9800 Savage Road Ft. Meade, MD 20755

ACQUISITION DIREC

Limited Sources/Sole Source Rationale

For all Requirements under $150K

1. AGENCY AND CONTRACTING ACTIVITY:

Requiring Agency: Department of Defense (DoD) United States Cyber

Command (USCYBERCOM)

Contracting Activity: Department of Defense (DoD) United States Cyber

Command (USCYBERCOM) – Acquisition Directorate

2. NATURE/DESCRIPTION OF ACTION(S):

This action requests the approval of a Sole Source Justification for the procurement of professional services from CACI to upgrade

USCYBERCOM’s installation and configuration of Procurement Desktop –

Defense (PD2), a government off-the-shelf contract writing application, to version v4.2 Increment SR17 and PD2 adapter to version 3.4.

This action will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a total estimated value of

Sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000.00).

The anticipated delivery date is five days after contract award.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES:

USCYBERCOM’s installation of PD2 must be upgraded to the latest versions of the software to remain current with supported versions and to prepare to upgrade to the DoD approved replacement system for PD2.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY:

8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). (GSA Order) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

DoD standardized its contract writing system, directing all commands to use PD2, a government off-the-shelf (GOTS) software. CACI is the original and sole developer of the PD2 product and is the only vendor who supports PD2.

5. PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTOR:

USCYBERCOM will contract with CACI to upgrade USCYBERCOM’s installation of PD2.

6. Market Research:

Market research was not performed. The basis for not performing market research is as follows:

CACI is the original developer of the PD2 application

No other vendor has the technical knowledge of the application

No other vendor is trained to perform upgrades

CACI will not support its application if it is upgraded by a vendor other than

CACI.

PD2 was developed in the 1990’s and is currently planned for retirement in

September 30, 20201.

1The Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Memorandum Subject: Updated Standard Procurement System Sunset Date, Dated January 12, 2017.

Based on the above market research status it has been determined that only the aforementioned vendor, CACI, can fully support the Governments 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 replace PD2 once DoD has approved the replacement contract writing system, which is planned to be completed prior to the announced PD2 retirement date.

7. Contracting Officer Certification:

Upon the basis of the preceding justification, I, as the Contracting Officer, hereby approve this sole source justification for the proposed contract action pursuant to the authority cited above as the particular service is essential to the Government's requirements, and market research indicates other companies' products or services do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs.

CERTIFICATION

I, hereby, certify that the supporting data under my cognizance included in this justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
