Solicitation N00421-16-T-0373 is issued as intent to sole source. The Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed-price basis, and to solicit and negotiate the proposed purchase order on a sole source basis with UNIVERSTITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, under the authority implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR Part 12 and 13. The requirement is for Software Reliability Modeling for NAVAIR. This is a follow-on project that was conducted by UMASS under contract HQ00034-13-D-0004. UMASS developed and implemented an Open Source framework and associated tools that enable the automatic application of software reliability models. This framework will be an important step towards predicting and modeling how software interacts with systems overtime in their intended environment. Utilizing a source other than Cortron would require conducting new research, testing, interface, certifications, etc. at a significant cost to the government, which is unrecoverable in this small procurement
