Limiting Competition (ACT Software Maint-Endeca)_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification document outlining the rationale for restricting competition for Endeca (Oracle) software maintenance at Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The requirement is for a software subscription renewal and support services valued at $25,519.73 for TRADOC G-37's Information Access Platform, which is needed to maintain access to over 100 training and doctrine publications critical for Army training development and doctrine activities.

The document justifies limiting competition because TRADOC requires the original equipment manufacturer, Oracle, to provide software maintenance and support services, as these services cannot be performed by other vendors. The current software license expires on December 17, 2023, and maintaining continuous support is essential for TRADOC's operations. The contract is being awarded as a brand name requirement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to Oracle America Inc. through their authorized reseller DLT Solutions LLC.
