ESHA GNF Software and Support Services

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground - Natick Division on behalf of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command - Solider Center (DEVCOM-SC), intends to award on a brand name, sole source basis under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements; a Firm Fixed Price contract is being sought with ESHA Research LLC for the continuation of their GNF Software and support services. The Government is seeking the renewal of this software with ESHA Research LLC, as seeking out alternatives would have a significant detrimental effect on AFRS’s ability to meet project milestones, mission goals and ability to meet project outcomes and deliveries, due to the need to duplicate training and database re-organization. This duplicate labor is estimated at roughly 92% of the acquisition cost of this effort, and is not expected to be recovered through competition. Natick Contracting Division anticipates awarding this contract to ESHA Research LLC, 4747 Skyline Rd S. Ste.100, Salem, OR, 97301, United States.
