4. Authority Cited – FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) Soliciting from a Singel Source (Brand Name)

5. Reason for Authority Cited – DeCA has utilized Micro Focus’s ACUCOBOL products since it was originally embedded in the Defense Commissary Agency’s Interactive Business Systems (DIBS) design in 1997. The software remains in use and is required to ensure that the DIBS system remains operational in support of DeCA's mission. Without the current version of ACUCOBOL, DeCA's core business sustainment operations (commissaries around the world) would be in jeopardy. Only Micro Focus brand software maintenance will ensure that DeCA operates the current version of ACUCOBOL . The annual maintenance provides access to software updates, security patches, and helpdesk support.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition – Based on the market research, MicroFocus has authorized resellers; however, per the software publisher, no authorized reseller can quote the maintenance as economically as the pushlisher. Still, in an effort to obtain competition, the solicitation will be posted to FBO on a brand-name basis.

7. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination – The contracting officer will make a fair and reasonable price determination IAW the analysis techniques at FAR 13.106-3.

8. Market Research and Interested Sources – Market research was conducted by performing internet searches, reviewing previous contract files for the same or similar software maintenance, and by discussion with knowledgeable industry sources. No significant changes have taken place since the previous acquisition was completed. MicroFocus remains the owner and sole manufacturer of the Micro Focus ACUCOBOL.

9. Actions to Increase/Foster Competition – DeCA continually communicates and works with other DoD agencies, its business partners, and attends trade and industry shows, in an effort to stay abreast of this evolving technology. As new technology becomes available and is assessed, alternative products may be found to be acceptable alternatives. Additionally, DeCA’s legacy systems, including DIBS, will eventually be replaced by the Enterprise Business System (EBS). It is estimated this will occur on or about December 31, 2021 (2nd Quarter FY 2022).
