- Description
- THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE NOTICE. This notice is issued by the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), to announce that it intends to issue RFP W911W4-14-T-0065 for one (1) Trusted Thin Client (TTC) license and software maintenance service. The manufacturer is Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions (RTCS). TTC must be used per the Raytheon Trusted Computing Solutions (RTCS) Defense Information Agency (DIA) Approved Products List (12 Dec 2012) for use with the DIA-accredited Trusted Thin Client. Any change to the architectural baseline requires an approved Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) and would result in significant security certification and accreditation issues. The equipment has passed rigorous national security certification and accreditation to support inter-communication between software and networks operating at single or multiple classification levels. Electronic procedure will be used for this solicitation. IAW FAR 5.207(c)(15)(i). Interested parties may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 3 days of this notice. The NAICS code for these items is 541519. Based upon market research, the Government is using policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. Market research was conducted utilizing government and commercial databases for pertinent information and contacting the equipment software developer. To date, no other Manufacturer has been able to meet all requirements. In addition market research was conducted by reviewing the Army mandated CHESS website. Market Research provided that the CHESS contractor community is not capable of providing the requirement through the Army CHESS Program. A statement of non-availability (# 216687241) has been received in response to the CHESS inquiry. A search on GSA was successful in identifying a GSA Schedule# GS-35F-0084J to satisfy INSCOM's requirements. The manufacturer was contacted and a proprietary statement was received stating they are the only capable source for this requirement. Point of Contact - Andrea.D.Knowles2.Civ@Mail.Mil
