Source Selection Info1mation - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

This is a renewal of software licensing and maintenance of a system that is already integrated into the business processes at USNA. Changing systems would put an undue burden on USNA and the government; both on time spent integrating a new system and time spent training the USNA staff on its use. In addition, it would also cost the government more funds as the old system would have to be removed and the new system implemented.

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.

These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.

As stated above, this is a renewal of an already existing system in place at the USNA. The system in place is identical to the one that will be procured by this follow-on requirement.
