    NSWCCD Sole Source-Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a sole source justification for the acquisition of the GNAT Pro Ada software tool, essential for the ongoing development of the Submarine Ship Control System programs at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Combatant Craft Division (NSWCCD). GNAT Pro Ada is required due to its unique compatibility and functionalities, which are critical to the work being conducted by both NSWCCD and its contractors. The proprietary nature of the software means only AdaCore, the software's owner, can provide the necessary licenses, subscriptions, and maintenance. Despite extensive searches for alternative Ada development tools, none were found that matched the functionality and compatibility required. Thus, a justification is issued in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), confirming the availability of only one suitable source. The document concludes with formal certifications and approvals from the responsible contracting officer, affirming adherence to federal procurement regulations. This sole-source procurement permits efficient project continuation, highlighting the significance of specialized tools in defense-related software development efforts.
