About this file

This is a Brand Name Only Justification for the NIDS Modernization requirement (PR #44000241) from the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Information Technology (OIT), Division of Information Security. The justification supports the sole-source procurement of Security Onion products, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as the authority for other than full and open competition.

The DIS Security Engineering team determined that Security Onion is the only product that meets the netflow monitoring requirements specified in M 21-31 and integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and C2 systems. While the products are classified as Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) items, market research identified 1556 possible ISBEE sources under NAICS 541519, with one vendor (Regency Consulting) already expressing formal interest. The procurement will be a firm-fixed price contract solicited directly to Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) via SAM.gov. The contracting officer determined pricing will be fair and reasonable based on competitive quotes, commercial price lists, and IGE comparison from qualifying ISBEE vendors.
