MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: DETERMINATION THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY

AVAILABLE FOR A FAR PART 12 ACQUISITION COMMERICAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES

I. BACKGROUND:

1. As required by FAR 12.102(a) this memorandum documents the determination that, for this acquisition valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), only one source is reasonably available. This memorandum further outlines the basis supporting that determination.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Technical support services for the implementation and reinstallation of the Blue Yonder MRO software, including installation of applicable service packs, to ensure Marine Depot Maintenance Center (MDMC) maintains full operational capability and functionality of the Blue Yonder MRO application. The required support includes software installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and technical assistance necessary to maintain system performance and continuity of operations. The period of performance is 1 October 2026 through 31 December 2026.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

A. _X__ ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. _X__ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

The application currently installed and operational at MDMC is the Blue Yonder

Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) software. The required software maintenance, technical support, updates, and licensing identified above are proprietary services that are exclusively provided by Blue Yonder in support of its

MRO application. This was confirmed via email correspondence with an authorized Blue Yonder representative (Tab A3 of the contract file). Procuring support from any other source is not possible, as no third party is authorized to provide maintenance or updates for the proprietary software. Additionally, replacing the existing Blue Yonder MRO application with an alternate system would require a significant investment of Government resources, including software acquisition, system configuration, data migration, and integration with existing MDMC information systems, extensive testing, user training, and potential modifications to established business processes. Such a replacement would result in substantial additional costs, increased implementation time, operational disruption, and compatibility risks with existing systems currently dependent upon the Blue Yonder MRO platform. Therefore, continued support
