    12627 - IVO Training Course Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for procuring training courses from Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI) for eight personnel from the 559th Software Engineering Squadron at Tinker AFB. This procurement pertains to the CERT Secure Coding in C and C++ Professional Certificate, which is essential for the squadron's role in software verification and validation for various Department of Defense (DoD) entities. Due to SEI's status as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), the justification for a single source procurement is based on the exclusivity of SEI’s offerings and the need for specialized training that cannot be adequately sourced elsewhere. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) permits this approach when establishing vital research or development capabilities involves a nonprofit institution. The document further confirms that SEI cannot engage with resellers, solidifying the sole-source conclusion. This procurement strategy aims to leverage SEI’s unique capabilities in software security to enhance operational efficiency within the DoD. The necessity of such training underlines the ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in military software development and cybersecurity.
