    The document outlines a recommendation by the NASA Shared Services Center to negotiate exclusively with Unison for the acquisition of TruePlanning Software Licenses. The proposed contract aims to address NASA's unique cost estimating needs, primarily utilized by the Engineering Cost Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). TruePlanning is highlighted as a well-validated and reliable cost estimating tool crucial for ensuring compatibility with current estimates and maintaining predictive accuracy. The recommendation emphasizes that using an alternative vendor could result in significant compatibility issues, requiring extensive validation efforts and considerable investment in time and resources. Ultimately, this sole-source justification underscores the impracticality of competition due to the specific requirements that only Unison's software can fulfill, thereby supporting NASA's mission effectively without incurring additional burdens.
