Quick Summary
This is a Single-Source Justification for the immediate acquisition of DEA License Subscriptions and support for the DEA Lima Country Office (LCO). The estimated value for this urgent requirement is $99,995.99. This justification addresses a critical need to restore suspended DEA operations due to expired software licenses.
Purpose and Background
The U.S. Department of State, USEMBASSY LIMA, on behalf of the DEA Lima Country Office, requires an immediate renewal of mission-critical software licenses. Operations have been suspended due to the lack of active licenses, necessitating an urgent acquisition to restore core functions.
Scope of Requirement
The immediate requirement is for one (1) specific license and one (1) other specific license to reactivate essential operations. The full long-term requirement includes two (2) of the first license type and four (4) standard licenses. This justification specifically covers the immediate minimum requirement.
Justification for Single-Source
This acquisition is justified as single-source due to proprietary licensing and exclusive arrangements tied to existing Government-owned hardware. The urgency to restore suspended operations makes replacing the current system unfeasible, as it would require significant new hardware procurement, lengthy implementation, and extensive retraining. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost of $99,995.99 to be fair and reasonable, based on market research and the necessity to restart core operations without delay.
