JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION ITEMS PECULIAR TO ONE MANUFACTURER ? FAR 11.105(a)(1), Brand Name 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING ACTIVITY a. Requiring Agency: Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA) b. Contracting Agency: CIFA Chief of Staff Acquisition (CIFA-CSA) 2. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVED Annual maintenance for CIFA?s Planview Enterprise Project Portfolio Manager and Enterprise Portfolio Manager Software currently being used to support CIFA?s Enterprise Architecture (EA). Installation and deployment of the software on CIFA?s secure network for production. Deployment Planning Services to enhance CIFA?s use of the tool for portfolio management and CIFA?s business processes. 3. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY?S NEEDS/(INCLUDING THE ESTIMATED VALUE) CIFA requires annual maintenance of the Planview portfolio management modules to support CIFA?s Enterprise Architecture. This software enables leadership to better analyze and manage risks, optimize investment opportunities and make informed investment decisions, align resources with business demands, and have visibility into and control of project portfolios. Installation of the software by the vendor will ensure that the software is connected and configured properly from a network and security perspective. The deployment planning services will support CIFA?s development of an implementation strategy for optimizing use of the tool based on CIFA?s business issues calling for a portfolio management solution. The estimated dollar value of the maintenance support is $17,909.00 and for the installation and deployment planning services, the estimated value is $9,672.00. 4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION This acquisition of Planview is authorized by FAR 11.105(a), consistent with FAR 6.302-1, and documented per the requirements of FAR 11.105a(1). 5. A DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR?S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF THE AUTHORITY In accordance with FAR 11.105(a)(1), Planview software is required in order for CIFA technical experts to complete ongoing developmental activities; as Planview Portfolio Management modules are currently in use to support CIFA?s Enterprise Architecture. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the Government to procure a new software application in place of our currently installed Planview products. Planview?s software and services offerings are only available through Planview, the sole software developer. Similar applications were found to be lacking one or more of the particular required feature(s), did not meet, or could not be modified to meet CIFA?s requirements of form, fit, and function; nor at this time, could they be placed into CIFA?s infrastructure quickly and easily. Adding a new brand of software application into CIFA?s system would result in unacceptable work delays and substantially inflated costs. 6. A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE This requirement will be posted on the Fedbizopps website. All interested parties can respond to the announcement. 7. A DETERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE The Contracting Officer will ensure that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable through price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404. 8.

A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITOIN CIFA-CSA has and continues to exercise competition as often as possible.
