Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the procurement of brand-name Camunda Enterprise Edition software licenses and associated annual maintenance and technical success services. The acquisition is being conducted by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Contract Services Directorate.

• Procurement of brand-name Camunda Enterprise Edition software licenses.

• Associated annual maintenance and technical success services.

• Period of Performance: May 18, 2026, to May 17, 2031.

• Contract Structure: One one-year base period with four one-year options.

• Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but the Competition Advocate Review is for acquisitions over $900,000.00.

• This document is a justification for a brand name requirement, not a solicitation. It indicates that the agency intends to solicit offers for this specific brand name.

• The justification notes that market research revealed only specific authorized resellers for Camunda licenses.

• Because the authorized resellers are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), the decision was made to set this contract aside specifically for SDVOSB competition.

• The acquisition is limited to Camunda Enterprise due to significant investment in the platform and the inability to switch to another platform without complete and costly redevelopment, causing unacceptable delays and disruption.

• The agency will conduct market research in the future to ascertain if barriers to competition can be removed for subsequent acquisitions.

• The contracting officer will determine the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
