ACES Sole Source Justification Redacted

Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement
APRIL 2018 (Change 18-24)
4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition. 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, as implemented by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1. 5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. This acquisition is for highly specialized services as implemented in RFO 6.103-1. It is the Government's determination that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements and create an unacceptable risk to critical fleet operations and financial data reporting.
Specifically, the legacy systems and associated data (including ASKIT and ACE Reporter) are currently hosted on CACI’s commercial servers. The Government is currently experiencing significant technical difficulties extracting this data from CACI's infrastructure. If a new contractor were awarded this effort, they would be unable to access the necessary data to execute the GOVCLOUD migration or maintain the systems, rendering them "dead in the water" upon award. This would result in an immediate and unacceptable delay, leaving the Government completely without access to the critical financial data required for the Official FHCR and halting fleet financial operations.
The ACES database and ASKIT system are essential for the production of the Official FHCRs. These reports are provided monthly to OPNAV N832, who utilizes the detailed breakdowns to analyze and project future years' FHP budget forecasting. Without ACES or a suitable replacement process, there is no alternative means to accurately project future years' flying hours and associated pricing.
CACI is the incumbent vendor and has successfully provided ACES support services under the current and previous task orders. Several of CACI's key personnel programmers have been incumbent employees for this same continuous duration, possessing uniquely deep institutional and technical knowledge of the nearly 600K lines of application code and 323K lines of Oracle database code that currently constitute the Commander Naval Air Forces Comptroller System (CNAFCS).
The Navy has determined that transitioning the ACES database to the GOVCLOUD and migrating the ASKIT and ACE reporter systems from a contractor-hosted commercial domain to an approved .mil domain is in the best interest of the Government to reduce costs and maintain
