This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the interim infrastructure solution of the project. The acquisition of the specified Stonegate, Cisco, and ISS Proventia hardware products are necessary to evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility of this infrastructure. During the Joint Management Council (JMC) meeting held on July 25th, 2007, the IT JPMO was tasked to deploy an IT infrastructure at the Tier 1 consolidation posts to support IT as a shared service. To address this new direction the IT JPMO has developed an interim IT infrastructure solution using the industrys best practices. Technically the selected solution is very similar to the current connection that exists between the two networks domestically. That IT infrastructure was selected because it would enable the majority of the pre-determined official applications in use, and since the design is already active domestically a new complete risk analysis and adjudication would not be necessary, which would have added considerable time to the schedule. Security requirements for USAID and DoS were identified and used in this infrastructure design. Specific components within the infrastructure were chosen by the engineers based on USAID and Diplomatic Security requirements, the ability of the compatibility of the components within existing systems and overall performance. The 41 USC 253(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority. The products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the DoS (Diplomatic Security) and USAID security requirements as a key component of this infrastructure. As this is a brand name only justifications, no one contractors unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the DoS and USAID security requirements as a key component of this infrastructure.
