This is a Justification Review Document for an other-than-full-and-open-competition procurement under FAR Part 6. The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is procuring artificial intelligence (AI) integration and automation services for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) activities under NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). The projected award date is December 19, 2025, with a base performance period running from December 19, 2025 through December 18, 2026, followed by two optional one-year periods. The total estimated contract value is redacted but represents a new requirement for the Government.

The procurement is being pursued as an unsolicited proposal from a single identified vendor, justified under 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i), which allows non-competitive awards when only one awardee is capable of providing supplies or services at the required quality level because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. The vendor will modernize and automate the measurement of operational effectiveness for software development projects, contracts for services, and Program Management Office operations by implementing AI capabilities to track performance metrics, labor costs, cloud operations, and effectiveness data. The effort addresses previously identified weaknesses cited in Government Accountability Office and Congressional reports and will provide unified, real-time visibility into program performance; normalized, objective data for decision-makers; and stronger governance and operational control. Market research was conducted in August 2025 reviewing Federal Supply Schedules, GSA Multiple Award Schedules, and ITES-3S contracts, concluding that no other sources have expressed interest in the effort. The Government waived the requirement to post a sources sought notice due to the unsolicited proposal nature of the procurement.
