4. Identification of the exception to fair opportunity and supporting rationale.

This acquisition is for Atlassian software licenses and per FAR 16.505(a)(4) this brand name justification is to document why one manufacture, Atlassian, brand is peculiar for the acquisition. COTS software products are copyrighted by their developers, and that no other source is authorized to provide the licenses, maintenance, and technical support for this proprietary software.

5. A determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

Multiple GWAC vendors are authorized resellers of Atlassian products, so competitive quotes will be requested via NASA SEWP. GWAC contract vehicles have already been determined price fair and reasonable.

6. A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition if subsequent acquisitions are anticipated.

Competition appears to be limited through the life of the current product, but future procurements will continue to perform market research in attempts to maximize competition.
