The document outlines a justification for a sole source contract for software licensing and maintenance at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). It emphasizes that the supplies or services must be entirely compatible with existing systems, as the current software is integral to USNA’s business processes. Transitioning to a different system would impose significant costs and training burdens on the USNA staff and potentially result in inefficiencies. The sole source action is supported by elements such as existing patents, copyrights, or proprietary data that limit competition, as well as the need for direct replacement parts that are identical to the currently used system. The document certifies accuracy in the justification process, adhering to federal regulations that allow for single-source procurement under certain circumstances, indicating that only one vendor can fulfill the requirement. Overall, this document seeks to streamline procurement processes while maintaining operational continuity at USNA.
