    A. FY25-Brand Name Justification_Bluebeam.pdf
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking to acquire Bluebeam Revu Core Studio, a brand-name digital annotation and collaboration tool, due to its unique capabilities and integration into existing workflows. The justification for this sole-source acquisition is based on market research indicating no equivalent products meet their specific requirements for construction-related filings and technical artifacts. Furthermore, switching to alternative software would incur substantial retraining costs for staff who have used Bluebeam for two years in a hybrid work environment. This procurement adheres to FAR 6.302-1, citing the unavailability of other satisfactory supplies or services, and emphasizes the need for a specific brand name when alternatives do not meet government needs. The document includes relevant FAR references for brand-name justifications and sole-source acquisitions.
