LSJ_YuJa_BASE25.v1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract for the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform (EVP) with the Army's Digital Learning and Innovations for Lifelong Competencies (DLIFLC) at Fort Leavenworth. The contract is for a 5-year period from 22 July 2025 to 21 July 2030, funded through Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds in Fiscal Year 2025. The total value is redacted, but the procurement is for a fixed-price purchase order with a brand name restriction.

The justification emphasizes YuJa's proprietary software's unique integration capabilities with the existing Canvas Learning Management System (LMS), which cannot be replicated by other vendors. The contract was developed through the US Army CHESS (Collaborative Hosting Enterprise Services Solution) market research process, with no quotes received from CHESS ITES SW2 providers. The procurement is critical to avoid significant disruption to educational services and operational learning, with the contracting officer certifying the action is in the best interest of the government and the pricing is fair and reasonable.
