Redacted J&AThis contract is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price acquisition for an advanced digital Christian music licensing and subscription service under solicitation number W9124J-26-Q-CHMU, issued by the Department of Defense’s Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The requirement is for Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) to provide 24 SongSelect Advanced and 33 SongSelect Premium subscriptions along with Church Copyright License coverage for 57 Army locations, enabling authorized reproduction, projection, performance, and distribution of Christian music for worship services across all military installations. The contract has a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, potentially extending performance through June 2031, with a total estimated value of $164,197.63, consistent with pricing from the prior contract W9124J-21-P-0008. No competition exists because CCLI is the sole entity with legal authority to administer the necessary music copyrights, provide an integrated digital platform, and offer compliant licensing for derivative works, public performances, and online streaming of Christian music. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), FAR 12.201-1, and GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii) due to exclusive capabilities and logical follow-on status. Delivery is entirely digital, with no physical goods or packaging required; acceptance is based on platform functionality and ongoing compliance with copyright law. The point of contact for contract administration is Jared Kiser as the Contracting Officer and Timothy Hallahan as the Contract Specialist, with submissions required via email in PDF or Word format and limited to 10 pages. No evaluation factors, subcontracting opportunities, or competitive processes apply due to the unique and non-transferable nature of CCLI’s licensing rights, and the contractor must perform directly without delegation.
