832674027 V-Stars Software Renewal

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A)

This document provides a brand-name justification (JA26-010) for procuring software support for previously purchased proprietary, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) brand-name software. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) requires this support to maintain its existing mission partner infrastructure. This J&A covers software support only, not new licenses or subscriptions, and includes required Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support.

• Annual software support renewals for existing software licenses and subscriptions.

• May include product updates/upgrades, new releases, versions, fixes, and patches.

• Support is restricted to the specific brand-name software integrated into the current infrastructure.

• Period of Performance: Estimated to begin January 1, 2026, and extend through December 31, 2030 (five years).

• Contracting Activity: DISA/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO)/PS832.

• Procurement Method: Individual procurements will be awarded as firm-fixed-price contracts or delivery orders through NASA SEWP, Army CHESS, GSA FSS, or the open market.

• Estimated Value: A redacted estimate is provided, based on actual usage of a predecessor J&A.

• Previous market research confirmed that only specific OEM products meet the Government's needs due to integration with existing infrastructure and specific interface requirements.

• Existing applications are designed to work with specific OEM products, and alternative solutions would require significant changes to the baseline infrastructure.

• OEM products are proprietary, and only the OEM or authorized resellers can provide necessary updates, patches, and support.

• Third-party support is not authorized by OEMs.

• Individual requirements will be competed among authorized resellers via NASA SEWP, Army CHESS, GSA Schedules, or GSA BPAs and beta.SAM.gov.

• DISA will seek open competition if OEMs offer open-source solutions or surrender intellectual property rights.

• Continuous market research will be conducted to identify alternative solutions.

• If previously acquired brand-name products are no longer required, a competitive acquisition approach will be sought.
