This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity under FAR Part 16 for the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command. The procurement is for Decision Lens software, an analytics-driven planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and financial management software specific to government financial requirements. The software will be used within the Army Enterprise Marketing Office (AEMO) to build and manage organizational financial requirements in support of Program Objective Memorandum (POM) planning.

The procurement includes a DL Tier 3 Professional Annual License, Implementation and Analytics Support, and DL University - Tier 3 Annual Fee, with a base period from 15 May 2025 through 14 May 2026 and four additional 12-month option periods. The contract was awarded to Enterprise Technology Solutions, Inc. through the CHESS (Computer Hardware Enterprise Software and Solutions) program, with a total value redacted. Market research indicated no other CHESS software solution can provide the same unique POM-specific planning and scenario modeling capabilities as Decision Lens, justifying the exception to fair opportunity under FAR 16.505(a)(4) for a product peculiar to one manufacturer.
