About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a federal contract opportunity. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) requires telecommunications equipment and services to support a secure infrastructure at Redstone Arsenal. The contract is a firm fixed-price award with a 1-year base period valued at $116,565.15. The FBI justifies using the "Only One Responsible Source" exception under FAR 6.302-1 due to the specialized and integrated nature of the equipment required to meet FBI security and technical standards. Market research was conducted but no other sources were identified that could meet the unique requirements. A competitive procurement is not planned for the future. The related federal contract opportunity was awarded to CyberSecure IPS, LLC on a sole source basis.

Other facts supporting the use of restricted (other than full and open) competition
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s description of additional facts which support the use of restricted (other than full and open) competition is provided below.
The unique design of the CyberSecure Controllers create the current platform for the FBI enterprise structure at Redstone. Without the crucial equipment listed in the IGCE the FBI could see lengthy delays in repairs to the communications infrastructure resulting in network outages, security systems such as access control and intrusion detection outages, greatly impacting the FBI’s mission at Redstone. The listed equipment is configured in a specific pattern to provide a secure and effective infrastructure for the FBI at Redstone Arsenal, must integrate seamlessly, and match in form and function with the existing infrastructure platform without additional costs, training, infrastructure requirements, or personnel.
Infrastructure components, configuration, and structure are all required to meet standards and guidelines directed by the FBI’s Technical Security Guide (TSG), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS). and meet FBI Physical Security Unit approvals.
The brand name requirement is essential to the Government for the infrastructure on the Redstone campus for the aforementioned reasons.
