The estimated contract value is $13.2 million over a five-year period.

Purpose & Overview

This procurement supports the DCMA's Information Technology Directorate (DCMA-IT) in establishing a DCMA-managed, trust-but-verify, searchable AI-enabled capability for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) "Blue List."

Procurement Strategy

This acquisition is justified as other than full and open competition, citing FAR 8.405-6(b), as the required items are peculiar to one manufacturer. Market research confirmed ServiceNow as the only acceptable solution due to its out-of-the-box capabilities, rapid deployment potential, and alignment with critical needs. ServiceNow SaaS was identified as the lowest price and best value through the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI). Carahsoft Technology Corporation is the sole authorized reseller of ServiceNow on DoD-ESI.
