R--Optimal Stationing of Army Forces (OSAF) software services.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has a requirement for technical services to evaluate the degree to which installation metrics might need to change before Optimal Stationing of Army Forces (OSAF) software generates different optimal stationing results, to modify OSAF to accommodate a time-series of metrics, and test its response to examples of changing metrics. This requirement includes running OSAF software to determine how changes in assumptions, specifically within the qualitative metrics, would change past stationing decisions. ERDC-CERL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Active Decision Support, Inc. in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(1). Market research has indicated Active Decision Support, Inc. as the only source capable of meeting the Government's requirements. Active Decision Support, Inc. developed OSAF for the Army's Center for Army Analysis (CAA). Although CAA retains rights to the software, the software is proprietary in nature to Active Decision Support, Inc.; therefore they are the only source capable of performing the required tasks.
