## Description

This justification provides the rationale for contracting by other than full and open competition to award a sole source order - 80TECH26P0017 with Epsilon3, Inc. The general purpose of this order is to procure two hundred (200) Epsilon3 Pro FedRamp High Licenses. This requirement is critical to NASA’s Artemis campaign and its overall mission to safely land humans on the lunar surface. The Artemis campaign’s timeline, and its included mission dates, are a vital component of the government’s need.

For reasons discussed below, delays to mission execution as a result of developmental challenges are likely to result in mission failure. This order is necessary to ensure that development of a lunar landing capability is complete in time to support NASA’s Artemis missions. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), as implemented by FAR 6.103-2, Unusual and compelling urgency. The rationale supporting the use of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) is as described in the attached Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.
