Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for "Devolutions Software and Maintenance." It outlines the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) requirement to support and maintain its existing Devolutions remote desktop manager (RDM) software. The NTSB requires software that is compatible with its current systems and platforms to efficiently manage remote desktops without compatibility issues.

• Requirement: The NTSB needs to procure 65 licenses for Devolutions RDM software and 1 year of Premium Support.
• Sole Source Justification: The document justifies restricting the procurement to Devolutions brand name products due to current compatibility, avoiding risks of integration issues, additional professional services, and employee training associated with switching to a different solution.
• Procurement Method: While justified as a sole source, a Request for Quotes (RFQ) will be posted on SAM.gov to maximize competition, though it is expected to be an unrestricted purchase.
• Estimated Value: The estimated value of this procurement is $29,250.00.
• Authority: The procurement is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, where only one source is reasonably available.
