Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)
Section A: General Contract Information
Contracting Activity: 45 CONS/LGCB Purchase Request/ Identification Number:
F3KTK76274A001
FA2521-17-Q-B-035
Project/Program Name: Mathematica Software License Renewal Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
AFTAC requires software maintenance support & extension of the subscription for the Mathematica network software licenses for a base plus 4 year options. Software is used on isolated networks, therefore cloud or Internet access for license activation is not acceptable.
Mathematica supports AFTAC's modeling, simulation, visualization, and documentation requirements. It provides an integrated package to allow various technical applications with one software tool.
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source
Wolfram is the manufacturer of Mathematica software products and does not allow third-party resell with no value added. Since AFTAC mission requires the use of this software, there are no substitutions. The NETCENTS-2 Products contract cannot meet AFTAC's acquisition needs.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
Alternate sources were sought ESI & GSA websites and via AFWAY NETCENTS.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards
Each year, when the annual support is due, additional market research will be conducted and the Air Force software management center (currently via NETCENTS) will be contacted.
Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
