5. Demonstration of Contractor’s Unique Qualifications or Nature of Acquisition: This procurement is for the renewal of software support for the current SAP NS2 software supporting the Enterprise Data Collection Layer (EDCL) application. EDCL is the AF enterprise solution to support all of our AIT device, software and service. During development of the EDCL several vendor’s software were independently tested, via an

RFI process contracted through NCI, to determine which software could support existing AIS, AIT and the AF new Enterprise Resource Planning Tool. The SAP NS2 software was the selected solution and currently, the only solution set on the market to meet the strict operating demands of EDCL.

Planning Tool. The SAP NS2 software was the selected solution and currently, the only solution set currently on the market to meet the strict operating demands of EDCL.

7. A Determination By the Contracting Officer That The Anticipated Cost To The

Government Will Be Fair and Reasonable. The total estimated dollar value of this acquisition is $481,183.41. This is based on historical pricing for these services, which was heavily discounted for this product on GSA schedules. This makes the anticipated cost to the Government fair and reasonable based on the pricing available on the GSA

Federal Supply Schedule 70, which has been pre-negotiated and awarded based on fair and reasonable pricing.

8. Description of Market Survey Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the

Reasons a Market Survey was not conducted. Market research was conducted using

GSA Advantage. However, base on actual independent testing, this is the only solution to meet the AF needs.
