OSCAM SSJ Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum for File (Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo) for the Navy's Operating and Support Cost Analysis Model (OSCAM). The memo justifies a sole source contract with Decision Analysis Services Limited (DAS) for OSCAM model updates, enhancements, training course development, and support. DAS is the only known company with in-depth knowledge of the OSCAM model, having developed the original software over 24 years with specific expertise in Navy ship and aircraft modeling.

The estimated contract value covers a four-year period, with DAS located in Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK. The justification highlights that alternative contractors would require significant time and resources (6-12 months) to gain the necessary System Dynamics capabilities and understanding of Navy O&S cost estimating processes. Market research was conducted, and the government determined that a sole source award to DAS is in the best interest of the government, based on the company's unique expertise and performance history with the OSCAM model development.
