A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted. In review, due to proprietary data rights this requirement will be sole source to the vendor who has done the initial development of the MRO Tool and holds the proprietary data rights.

VIII. Any other facts supporting the use of Other Than Full and Open Competition.

Bringing on a different contractor would result in extreme duplication of costs of roughly $375,000.00.
