Brand Name Justification JA-25-001 (Redacted).pdf

This is a Brand Name Justification document for Commvault software maintenance support services for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Command. The justification allows for a Task Order (TO) to be issued under FAR 16.505(a)(4)(i) as a Firm-Fixed Price contract amongst authorized Commvault resellers and service providers.

The requirement covers Commvault software maintenance support for USCG's backup infrastructure, including annual maintenance renewal, technical support, security patches, and software updates. The period of performance includes a base year from January 7, 2025 to January 6, 2026, plus four one-year options through January 6, 2030. The services include Commvault Complete DP (1,350 terabytes), Commvault eDiscovery (960 terabytes), Commvault eDiscovery for Mail and Cloud Applications (500 users), and Enterprise Success Elite Success subscription with 25% professional services allocation. The justification cites Commvault's proprietary nature and its current integration with USCG systems as the rationale for the brand name requirement, noting that only authorized resellers can provide the necessary support and maintenance services.
