JA for AESIP CTRL M -- final_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Document for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of BMC Control-M Software Maintenance & Support Subscription by the U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal (ACC-RI). The document seeks to acquire an additional license for BMC Control-M Software under the Army's Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) program, specifically through the ITES SW2 contract vehicle.

The procurement is for a twelve-month base period with a subscription license and support renewal for the AESIP-HUB (Logistics Modernization Program). The software enables automation of batch job creations, scheduling, and management across Information Technology environments. Market research was conducted from April to May 2024, confirming BMC Control-M Software support is available through CHESS contract vehicles. The justification cites previous contract awards to companies like Epoch Concepts, Advanced Computer Concepts, and Rightstar, Inc. for similar software maintenance support renewals, with selection based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology.
