This is a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Sole Source Justification (SSJ) document for the TRIAD Gold Level Software Support program. The document is used to justify awarding a sole source order above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) on an FSS contract, which is otherwise exempt from the requirements in FAR Part 6 under GSAR 538.7104-3.

The justification identifies five statutory exceptions available for sole source awards under FSS contracts. The selected exception for this procurement is GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), indicating that only one source is capable of providing the products, services, or solution required at the level of quality required because the products, services, or solutions are unique or highly specialized. The other available exceptions include: unusual urgency that would result in unacceptable delays; logical follow-on to a prior competitive FSS order; necessity to satisfy a minimum guarantee in an FSS BPA; or statutory authorization requiring purchase from a specified source. The document was digitally signed by Austin J. Hurst on April 20, 2026, with the signer identified as 599293031.
