    The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a limited competition procurement of Eggplant Test Software Suites (Part Numbers EG1020B and EG1020A) for the Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS). This initiative aims to automate testing, reduce workloads, and enhance accuracy in software used on U.S. Navy carriers, with a total estimated value of $500,000 from FY 2025 to FY 2029, funded through Operation and Maintenance appropriations. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limited competition due to the unique requirements that only Eggplant software can fulfill, which prevents significant duplicated costs and labor if alternatives are sought. Previous contracts and ongoing testing efforts make it necessary to stick with Eggplant to avoid additional costs and delays. Market research confirmed only Eggplant authorized distributors can supply necessary software and support, ensuring adherence to operational needs. Future procurements will be assessed for potential competition to avoid barriers and ensure responsiveness to Navy requirements.
