About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification form submitted by NASA Shared Services Center recommending negotiation only with vendors who can provide Atlassian and Atlassian MP products from Appfire and Adaptavist, Inc. for the FY25 Atlassian Renewal. The period of performance is February 12, 2025 to February 12, 2026.
The justification explains that these software licenses are required for the knowledge retention and project management solution used by spaceflight missions operating from the Ames Multi-Mission Operations Center (MMOC) as part of the Ames Mission Network (AMN). The specific brand is required for compatibility with existing architecture and has been cleared for purchase by NASA OCIO for compliance with Section 515 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. The document notes that using another vendor would result in incompatibility with the AMN architecture, potential failure to transmit critical spaceflight operations data, and possible violation of Section 515, as Atlassian solutions are closed technologies that do not facilitate cross-vendor integrations.

Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Appfire and Adaptavist, Inc. for the FY25 Atlassian Renewal. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 02/12/25 -02/12/26.
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
This procurement is for software licenses for Atlassian and Atlassian MP products, currently deployed as the knowledge retention and project management solution for all systems that are a part of the Ames Mission Network (AMN), which is used by spaceflight missions operating out of the Ames Multi- Mission Operations Center (MMOC) to carry commands, telemetry, and science data to and from spacecraft in flight. The specific brand of support renewal is required for its compatibility with the existing architecture. The NASA OCIO has assessed Atlassian products for compliance with Section 515 of the “Consolidated Appropriations Act” and cleared them for purchase.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If another brand/ vendor were chosen to fulfil this functional requirement, it would result in incompatibility with the Ames Mission Network architecture, failure to transmit critical spaceflight operations data resulting in significant mission impact or failure, and possible violation of Section 515.
Additionally, Atlassian solutions are closed technologies and do not facilitate cross vendor integrations.
