About this file
This is a Justification and Approval document for Other than Full and Open Competition under FAR Part 6, issued in August 2022 by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command Redstone.
The Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC) Information Office seeks to acquire SirsiDynix Software Maintenance Renewal to support the Redstone Scientific Information Center's (RSIC) Integrated Library System. The contract will be firm-fixed price and is projected for award in August 2026 using fiscal year 2026 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDTE) funds. The required supplies include SirsiDynix Core with one quantity for acquisitions, one quantity for serials, and one additional quantity. The software has been in use for more than seven years and provides essential library operation components including circulation, user management, cataloging, and electronic document security. The justification cites 10 USC 3204(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), establishing that only one responsible source exists because SirsiDynix is copyright-protected commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software that is the only integrated library system meeting government requirements without third-party add-ons. Extensive market research was conducted in April 2025 through DEVCOM AvMC, DoD ESI, GSA, and CHESS ITES-SW2 (28 vendors), with no responsive sources identified. A CHESS Statement of Non-Availability has been approved. The document commits to evaluating future technological developments for potential full and open competition and requires publication of notices in SAM.gov with due consideration of any proposals received. Supporting certifications regarding technical data accuracy, requirements validity, fair and reasonable cost determination, and contracting officer approval are included.
