About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification recommending that NASA negotiate only with vendors who can provide Atlassian MP Gliffy Confluence software renewal for the Arc Jet Modernization (AJM) project. The Gliffy and Confluence software are used for technical and project documentation, reviews, approvals, and organizational tools. The justification cites the need to maintain compatibility with existing workflows and systems, as well as the disruption and additional costs that would be incurred by using a different brand. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the period of performance is listed as May 2025 to January 2026. This Brand Name Justification is associated with a federal contract opportunity for the Atlassian MP Gliffy Confluence software renewal, solicitation number 80NSSC884399Q, issued by the NASA Shared Services Center.

Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Gliffy Perforce Software, Inc. for Atlassian MP Gliffy Confluence 500 users software renewal. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 05/25/25 – 01/23/26, 04/16/25 – 01/23/26, 02/10/25 – 01/23/26, 12/29/24 – 01/23/26.
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.
These software brands are renewals for currently existing software add-ons which are used by Arc Jet Modernization (AJM), a project made up of 6 active sub-projects plus many other smaller efforts. These software packages support the creation of technical and project documentation, review and signature cycles for that documentation, and provide organizational tools for AJM as a whole. These products will continue to allow multiple users to review and comment on documents as well as “voting” or registering approval or disapproval of products. These add-ons also provide track requirement development, document development, and will also be used for other actions such as approval of CCB outcomes.
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 other than the require brands listed for these existing add-ons were used, it would cause additional IT work necessary to install the new plugins, disruption to ongoing work as we schedule the trainings and customizations required to adapt new tools to our already existing workflows, as well as additional man hours to retrain the staff. This could result not only in training costs which would be $4k to 5k but it would also interfere with our scheduled commitments.
