J&A No. 50,242 Ser 02/2505

Corporate Document Management System (Course #1) 1 4

The total estimated value of this acquisition (to include options) is for the quantities identified above.

This requirement will be funded with Command Reserve (CR) funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 with possible options that extend the period of performance until FY 2025.

The Government’s minimum needs have been verified by the certifying technical and requirements personnel.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(B).

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority

The WBT training modules must be executed through the Department of Navy’s TWMS system. They must, therefore, use software that is fully compatible and interoperable with TWMS.

Additionally, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Sunset Design & Programing is the only company in the market that currently meets these two requirements. It has been successfully produced WBT modules that are fully Section 508 compliant for Naval Sea Systems Command since 2014 using the TWMS system as the platform for distribution.

No other companies are capable of meeting these requirements inasmuch as the software code needed for TWMS compliance is proprietary to Sunset Design & Programing. Based on available data, the labor hours required to develop TWMS-compliant software is cost prohibitive. Specifically, it would cost well over as detailed below.
