1.02 SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification. It provides the rationale for the Naval Postgraduate School to procure the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) eBook Collection through a sole source acquisition rather than a competitive process.

The sole source justification explains that the IET eBook Collection contains a comprehensive set of engineering and technology-focused eBooks that are critical to meeting the educational needs of the Naval Postgraduate School. IET is the sole provider of this specialized technical content, which is not available from any other source. The Naval Postgraduate School has an ongoing requirement for continued access to the IET eBook Collection to support its academic programs. This sole source justification outlines the unique qualifications of IET and the lack of any other sources that can meet the school's requirements.
