This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition, dated August 2023, supporting a sole source acquisition by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC).

The Air Force is acquiring Deltek, Inc. wInsight software license renewal, maintenance, updates, support, and training for predictive analytic cost estimating. This is a new Firm-Fixed Price Commercial Purchase Order effort for a 12-month base year (1 March 2026 – 28 February 2027) and one 12-month option year (1 March 2027 – 29 February 2028), totaling 24 months of performance. The acquisition includes five additional Authorized Support Contracts and is conducted under the authority of 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. The wInsight software is a highly specialized earned value management (EVM) tool used by approximately 270 analysts across the Department of Defense who report EVM data for ACAT and acquisition programs. The software integrates technical work scope, cost, and schedule objectives into a single cohesive contract baseline plan and provides state-of-the-art techniques for identifying problem areas, reviewing performance trends, and generating statistical estimates. Deltek, Inc. is identified as the only firm capable of providing the required maintenance, updates, technical support, and authorized support contracts due to proprietary intellectual property rights. The J&A justifies the sole source approach based on the specialized nature of the software, the timeline constraints preventing competition while new IPMDAR (Integrated Program Management Data Analysis Report) requirements are being finalized, potential transition delays and costs exceeding $1.8 million, and unacceptable disruption to current and future acquisition programs if competition were pursued. The acquisition was coordinated and approved on 26 January 2026.
