About this file

This is a Treasury SF 1014 Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity form requesting approval to award a Firm Fixed Price delivery order to FCN INC for LucidLink cloud-based NAS equivalent mass storage SaaS products. The order is for the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and includes 5 Included System Users licenses, 1 LucidLink Unlimited Custom Filespace, 1 LucidLink Unlimited Premium Support, and 1 LucidLink Unlimited System Users license, with a base period of one year plus 6-month option starting 1/1/2025.

The justification cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) as the basis for sole-source award, as this is a follow-on to delivery order 2032H5-21-F-00536 under the NASA SEWP program which expires 9/20/2024, with FCN granting a grace period until 12/31/2024. The original order received four quotes and was awarded to FCN as the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer. The sole-source follow-on is deemed necessary to prevent data loss and workflow disruptions, as these products are the only ones identified that can fully operate in the IRS-CI AWS GOVCLOUD environment. The products allow IRS CI agents to collaborate on large datasets and conduct investigative activities across physical and virtual machines nationwide.
