FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items – Sole Source

Justification and Approval

1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command

2. Description of Action: The United States (US) Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems requests a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the purchase of Logi Analytics Software Products. The Government projects award for May 2018 and fiscal year 2018, Operations and Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds will be used.

X An acquisition plan is not required because this procurement does not meet the threshold at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 207.103(d)(i)(B).

3. Description of Supplies/Services: Logi Analytics software products used by Defense Readiness Reporting System – Army (DRRS-A) includes both the Logi Info and Logi Ad Hoc Query products. Both are business intelligence and business analytics software. The products are tightly integrated into the DRRS-A Ad Hoc Query application which provides the capabilities necessary to make

. Within this application, users can create, analyze, and share reports. Users may use the information for their command’s business operations, briefings, or to perform data validation. Comparisons of various Business Intelligence products were considered when the Logi Analytics products were selected for DRRS-A primarily because the products offer the required capabilities and because the acquisition and maintenance costs were significantly lower than other Business Intelligence tools such as COGNOS and MicroStrategy. If we were to change products used there would be extensive re-write of the current DRRS-A Ad Hoc Query software as well as having to create new documentation and train the user community. Changing to a different set of products at this time would be cost prohibitive. The maintenance support for Logi Analytics is required to have access to the latest software upgrades especially any required security related updates.

The Logi Analytics products are highly flexible, scalable and customizable providing the DRRS-A team the ability to extend functionality and meet the constantly expanding requirements of DRRS-A stakeholders.
