    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source contract related to the Army Vantage System, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) program under the Project Manager Army Data and Analytics Platforms. The justification stems from the authority granted by 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), which allows for procurement when only one responsible source can meet the government's requirements. The Army Vantage System has proven to enhance decision-making capabilities by integrating and analyzing data from various military functions, such as logistics and personnel management. The analysis of alternative procurement methods concluded that a short-term sole-source contract is essential to transition to the forthcoming ADP 2.0 program, which aims to decrease reliance on single vendors through a modular approach. The Army plans to concurrently conduct a competitive bid for ADP 2.0 while maintaining Army Vantage operations, ensuring no capability gaps during the transition period. This document emphasizes the critical nature of Army Vantage in supporting military operations and outlines a strategic shift towards competitive sourcing to achieve long-term procurement objectives, aligning with the Army's broader goals for scalability and affordability in its data solutions.
