Justification and Approval for: Single Source Brand Name

1. REQUISITION NUMBER: ITC-OARS-26-0064 ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE:

2. Description of supplies or Services Required to Meet Agency:

Acquisition of a FedRAMP-certified Integrated Library System (ILS) to manage the ITC Library’s print resources. The system will support cataloging, circulation, OPAC/Discovery, user management, reporting, system hosting, and technical support.

3. Justification for Limited Competition:

EOS.Web is the only ILS that meets the ITC Library’s functional, security, and operational needs. It delivers core services— cataloging, circulation, patron management, and OPAC/Discovery—and integrates smoothly with existing workflows and the EBSCO Discovery Service. Because the vendor holds exclusive support rights, switching systems would introduce unnecessary costs, staff retraining, and disruption. Market research shows no other FedRAMP-certified ILS suited to a small federal library;

alternatives are built for large institutions and are not cost-effective for a collection under 4,000 volumes.

5. Requiring Officer's Certification:

I certify that the facts and representations in this justification, included herein, meet the Government's need and that the supporting data which forms the basis for this justification is complete and accurate.
