JA FY25-0227 Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) Modified for Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501, specifically for a contract modification with Vista Partners, LLC. The modification is for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) to update the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM4) software. The tasks include updating the Government's SQL server, transferring data, updating the ANAM4 interface to comply with Executive Order 14168 (changing "Gender" to "Sex"), and completing DHA security updates including data encryption and laptop software modifications.

The contract modification is a sole source acquisition for the period of 30 July 2025 through 29 January 2026, with Vista Partners, LLC being the only vendor capable of completing these tasks due to their exclusive licensing and development of the ANAM4 software. The ANAM4 is a computer-based neurocognitive assessment tool designed to measure cognitive processing efficiency in various contexts including neuropsychology, readiness to perform, neurotoxicology, pharmacology, and human factors research. Market research conducted on 8 May 2025 confirmed Vista Partners, LLC as the only available source for these specific software modification requirements.
