SOLE SOURCE NATURE OF ACQUISITION: AFOMS requires psychological assessment tools to investigate methods of approving attrition rates of Air Force Specialty Codes. In accordance with current Air Force guidelines, AFOMS explored the use of EQ-I and EQ Interview as more cost effective solution than a specialized development effort. Support is rendered to AFOMS by way of developing and maintaining secure internet websites used for psychological assessments. Technical specifications are only available from MHS and cannot be made available to other sources since the Government does not own or have legal access to the source code. No other contractors have access to the proprietary data. Another contractor would have to write their own program capable of performing the same functions, which would result in excess cost and time. The Government would incur downtime for the development of this program to include beta testing of the program. There are no other products at this time manufactured by anyone capable of providing the program and required access codes.
