Under this delivery order, the Contractor will develop WASP 5.0, continuing GUI redesign started with WASP 4.1 and begin initial transition to micro-services architecture in support of Next Gen Naval Mission Planning.

These requirements will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." DCS Corporation has developed and delivered all WASP versions, both U.S. and FMS, in a component-based evolutionary acquisition.  DCS Corporation has generated extensive, applied, knowledge-based experience and proficiency with the WASP code, database tier design and structure of WASP applications used by the Fleet community.  Selection of a contractor other than DCS Corporation would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, as well as unacceptable impacts to schedule and performance. No other source has the technical qualification and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government's requirements.
