Description of the supplies or services required, the estimated price/cost, and required delivery date.

This request is an expansion of our already existing Google platform footprint. The Google Cloud Platform subscription includes specific tools that we need to execute the data centric portion of this project. ITSD needs a higher performance secure FedRAMP compliant data store into which it can migrate the ERP/Oracle data. This platform leverages the security, authentication, and existing infrastructure components to provide the data storage element for our overall modernization project.

In conclusion, the requested supplies or services represent the minimum requirements of the government.

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

(what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)

Because this request constitutes a small increase to our already existing Google infrastructure it leverages the already existing security, authentication, processing, and integration requirements. Going with a different product would require all of that to be duplicated in the separate system and then synchronized. It would put an undue burden on the government and add extreme delay in action to the overall project. Specific requirements

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 that are being met by this platform are the ability to store PII data which requires the platform to be FedRAMP

Impact Level 4 compliant, its ability to natively integrate without data integration platform (informatica) and it provides a single data storage resource capable of sustaining our real time data synchronization requirements.

☒ The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.
