Sole Source Justification Title: Nuxeo Platform

PR: N66604-1300424683

BACKGROUND/REQUIREMENT:

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), Advanced Interactive Management Technology Center (AIMTC), Code 2531, Logistics Product Development Branch, is requesting one (1) Nuxeo Silver Connect license. This license will be deployed at the Defense Information Systems Agency DISA.. Nuxeo Silver Connect supports advanced document management, case management, digital asset management and team collaboration. This content management system will be used to support multiple programs at the NUWCDIVNPT. Program managers need a content management system that offers version control as well as advanced search capabilities, tasking and team collaboration. They require the ability to search not only document titles but internal text as well. The existing application (REDACT) does not support this level of search detail.

SOLE MAKE/MODEL JUSTIFICATION WITH MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Nuxeo Silver Connect is the only make and model of software that will meet the Government’s requirements based on the following justification:

a. Offers support for document and digital asset management solutions at cost significantly beneath comparable solutions.

b. “Thin client” framework offers extensive capabilities and customization options through browser without requiring client installation, unlike some comparable products.

c. Runs on existing AIMTC/DISA hardware and software infrastructure, requires no additional specialized hardware or software to operate.

d. Nuxeo Studio feature provides support for Nuxeo platform customization without an IDE or compilers.

e. Nuxeo Silver Connect is a proprietary software subscription service and can only be purchased directly from Nuxeo.

DISSIMILAR MAKE/MODE COST IMPLICATION AND OTHER IMPACTS:

(REDACT)

CONCLUSION:

The existing application,(REDACT), no longer provides all of the features that customers require. In order for AIMTC to continue to provide first class service to its customers it is necessary to upgrade to a product that offers more flexibility and features. Nuxeo was selected as the product that would best meet the needs to the customer at a reasonable price after extensive market research and cost comparison. Failure to purchase Nuxeo will result in loss of business as customers search for content management solutions to meet their needs elsewhere. See table below for features and cost comparison:
