SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:

AdaCore was founded in 1994 and is the sole provider of the GNAT Pro Ada development environment. The software support, including all maintenance renewal licenses, is proprietary to

AdaCore and there are no authorized resellers. AdaCore is the sole source provider of GNAT

Pro, GNAT Pro tools and support maintenance, and any upgrades to the GNAT Pro subscriptions. Deviating from AdaCore would pose significant costs to the Government as

Codes would need to research another qualified vendor to procure a new development environment and subsequent software. Codes would also need to test a new development environment to ensure it meets the Fleet’s requirements, which would ultimately cause delays that would impact testing and development of the systems.

RESELLERS:

There are no resellers that can provide the required software maintenance license renewal.

AdaCore is the only company capable of providing the license renewal.

Requiring Department:

Based on the above, I recommend this acquisition be conducted on a Sole Source basis. I certify the technical data which form the basis of this justification are complete and accurate.

APPROVAL:

Contracting Officer:

Based on the above, I have determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available can fulfill the requirements. I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
