About this file

This is a Brand Name Only Justification form (J&A Control Number JA25-00008) for KMS Key Management Licenses for the Office of Information Technology (OIT) at Indian Affairs. The requirement is a follow-on requirement with firm-fixed pricing under Purchase Request Number 44004144.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is issuing a competitive Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside solicitation for new KMS application and licenses currently used for DAR and VSAN licenses. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as authority for other than full and open competition, noting that any other software licenses would be incompatible with existing DAR and VSAN licenses. Multiple ISBEE vendors are authorized as resellers for these licenses, and a public posting will be issued on www.sam.gov. The current licenses are deprecated, requiring new software licenses for encryption management. Market research indicates several ISBEE resellers are available to submit competitive quotes for this brand name requirement.
