The Limited Sources Justification and Approval (J&A) document outlines the U.S. Air Force's request to renew OARnet's VMware subscription maintenance for VMware Cloud Foundation 5. The action is justified because OARnet is the sole provider for the maintenance of its leased VMware licenses, which are critical for the agency's virtual computing environment. The contract not only represents significant cost savings through educational discounts but also avoids the prohibitively high costs of acquiring new licenses. Market research confirmed that alternative sources would not be feasible, leading to potential duplicative expenses if competition were pursued. The J&A indicates efforts will be made to research alternative options for future contracts while continuing to ensure compliance with the necessary regulations. It emphasizes the unique qualifications of OARnet as the provider and validates that this sourcing decision aligns with federal guidelines to ensure best value for government expenditures. Overall, the document underscores the necessity of the continued relationship with OARnet for effective support of the virtualization infrastructure.
