Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial service prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will NOT be issued. This is a Request For Quote (RFQ) and the solicitation number is F2VUJ08185AC06. The 6th Contracting Squadron, MacDill AFB, Florida, requires the following software licenses as well as maintenance and support for one base year and two option years. All quotes, regardless of type (i.e. open market, GSA, Sewp, etc.)will be considered. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT USSOCOM requires the capability to maintain and sustain current operational capabilities to support forensic analysis and operational security (OPSEC) analysis requirements for all networks and devices within their architecture. USSOCOM networks' defense-in-depth requirements, as directed by CJCSI 6510.01D, Information Assurance and Computer Network Defense (CND), support the warfighter in the global war on terrorism by providing a secure transport of data to and from worldwide locations. One of the aspects of this requirement is to provide analysis capability of data that is transported or resides on our networks. Software must provide USSOCOM the capability to monitor, investigate, remediate and protect all networks against malicious intrusion, security incidents and cyber attacks. Loss of current capability is not acceptable. Without the forensic and recovery capability, USSOCOM would lose the overall visibility of potential risks and lack the capability to quickly remove and sanitize data that, if accessed by unauthorized personnel or hackers, can be used to initiate loss of services or compromise data. This type of activity will pose additional risks to operational SOF missions worldwide. Proposed solution for USSOCOM must: • provide a scalable integrated platform to immediately respond to and thoroughly investigate computer-related incidents or events of interest • rapidly and thoroughly investigate computer incidents occurring on any and all nodes within USSOCOM's network, regardless of physical or network location; must provide ability to review both unique closed networks and standalone systems • identify and address internal and external network security, information assurance, and counterintelligence threats before they erupt into significant events • capture and analyze volatile data, including active network sessions, open files, and running processes • verify data files and structure to determine possible compromise • investigate and analyze devices running on all standard commercial operating systems • investigate and analyze devices over local area and wide-area networks from a central location • detect and identify hidden, cloaked or deleted data and/or files • provide analysis without disrupting business processes or alerting targets • audit individual or multiple machines for sensitive information, unauthorized processes and unauthorized network connections • identify and remediate rootkits • remediate or stop security events as they are identified • locate, analyze and capture data in a forensically sound fashion (e.g., without modification to data or device) from any network-connected node without system downtime • analysis and data capture must hold a legal evidentiary capability • proactively and reactively, locate and eliminate classified data spillage • identify unauthorized active programs running on network(s) to include peer-to-peer communications, covert channels and alternate data streams • allow analysts and technicians to access multiple files/folders across an array of servers • accommodate the analysis of terabytes of data based on multi-layered security (classifications) • isolate data needed to be extracted • provide a sanitization capability to clean area of contamination to level of acceptance defined by DoD and NSA standards • comply with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 and the resulting NIST interpretation detailed in Special Publication 800-61, Computer Security Incident Handling Guide. • provide updates to ensure current signatures and libraries are maintained to meet the day-to-day threats and vulnerabilities identified as possible risks to network(s) • provide on-call support to assist in recovery and management of data, files and services • include software maintenance support to remediate and/or fix any deficiency releases needed to eliminate minor problems occurring after a major release; includes all system and security patches as well as required fixes • provide technical support to assigned personnel to ensure the continued operations with no lapse in current capability • respond to information detection system alerts to verify device(s) compromised • identify deviations from system baselines during INFOCON support to verify integrity of critical devices • be operational not later than 1 October 2008. Note: The vendor must provide a plan/timeline to have the system fully operational by the stated deadline. *The offeror will prepare a firm fixed price quote for each of the following items: The vendor will provide the following for the period of October 1, 2008 - Setember 30, 2009.
