    A.3 FAR 13 Justification for Use of Items Peculiar to One Manufacturer (V1.2 04-28-2023) - REDACTED.pdf
    The Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region is requesting an exception to the fair opportunity process to acquire Microsoft 365 A5 software licenses. This procurement, valued at $176,932, aims to meet the needs of the Marine Corps University and Education Command at MCB Quantico, VA. The order includes licenses for 1,250 faculty, 50,000 student uses, and additional tools like Planner, Project Plan 3, Visio Plan 2, M365 Defender, and Power Automate Premium.

The contracting officer will ensure the pricing remains fair and in line with competitive market rates.
