BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION
FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i)
OpenText BIRT Software Renewal
Agency: Enterprise Information Technology Services Directorate (EITSD) Brand: OpenText Est. Value: $
Nature of Supplies/Services
The OpenText (formerly Actuate) BIRT application is a reporting tool that user can use to design, run, change, view reports and provide dashboard metrics for Government business units.
Periods of performance: 9/28/15 – 9/27/16 and 9/30/15 – 9/29/16 (depending on the renewal period of the particular piece of software).
Brand Name Rationale
OpenText is the only brand name reasonably available to the Government. The OpentText manufacturer and its authorized resellers have proprietary data rights that effectively preclude competing annual maintenance for products. EITSD has invested over $161,000 into this solution, and to procure a different solution at this time would be a substantial duplication of costs to the Government.
Approval
In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), and based on the foregoing rationale, I hereby approve the acquisition of OpenText BIRT software renewal services.
