    A3. REDACTED J&A ACTIAN.docx
    The United States Marine Corps (USMC) has issued a memorandum justifying the use of Other than Full and Open Competition for a procurement action under FAR Part 13, necessitating software maintenance and support for Actian DataConnect. The memorandum cites that Actian Corporation is the sole source available due to its proprietary rights and the essential role of its software in integrating data across multiple sources for the Total Forces Data Warehouse (TFDW). The request involves renewing a software license and support services from December 31, 2024, to December 30, 2025. The necessity for sole-source procurement is compounded by the risk of substantial operational disruption and cost increases associated with transitioning to alternative software. The memorandum also dismisses various competing software solutions based on compatibility, performance, and cost-efficiency issues. The USMC emphasizes ongoing market research to identify potential new technologies that may offer competitive alternatives in the future. The certifications from personnel involved affirm the accuracy and completeness of the document's content.
