4.12 Limited Source Justification_WebInspect_Redacted.pdf

This is a Limited-Sources Justification document for a software license support renewal by the Naval Network Warfare Command (NWWC). The procurement supports the U.S. Navy Fleet Cyber Command's cybersecurity needs by acquiring eight (8) Fortify WebInspect software license support renewals from Micro Focus Government Solutions, a twelve-month subscription with one base year and four option years. The contract (Delivery Order N0018922F0372 under contract NNG15SC89B) was awarded on an Exception to Fair Opportunity basis to Carahsoft Technology Inc., with a current contract expiring on 31 May 2025.

Market research conducted with ESI, GSA, and NASA determined that the required supplies are not available on the mandatory GSA schedule. The justification for limiting sources is based on FAR 8.405-6(b)(1), citing the item as peculiar to one manufacturer. The procurement's primary objective is to maintain U.S. Navy network security through Web Risk Analysis (WRA) tools, including Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) capabilities to scan U.S. Navy websites for vulnerabilities. The contracting activity notes that procuring alternative tools would cause unacceptable downtime and disrupt mission operations.
