Attachment II - SSJ Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement document submitted by the United States Naval Academy for a cybersecurity support service contract.

The Naval Academy is procuring an "Embedded Defense Package" (EDP) consisting of highly specialized cybersecurity support from SecureStrux LLC (CAGE Code 6WG89) on a sole source basis under FAR 12.102(a). The requirement involves Subject Matter Expert (SME) support to prepare for an imminent Cyber Operational Readiness Inspection (CORA) and to provide just-in-time training and network configuration remediation services. The service is a direct follow-on to a recently completed two-week mock CORA assessment. The Period of Performance is six months from contract award, with the vendor delivering eight weeks of SME support during this timeframe. Immediate commencement of services is required due to the impending official CORA inspection. The justification establishes that competition is precluded because the services must be compatible with existing systems, and SecureStrux is the sole vendor capable of providing a one-for-one match to all CORA program requirements. The document notes that SecureStrux completed the current CORA assessment and is uniquely qualified to perform the required remedy services and assessments. The contracting officer from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department approved the sole source justification on the certification date provided.
