This is a Sole Source Rationale document for INCITS Committee and Executive Board Memberships with an estimated value of $551,638.00. The requiring agency is the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Enterprise Integration and Innovation (EII) at Fort Meade, Maryland, with the contracting activity being DISA/Defense Information Technology Contracting Office at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.

The document justifies sole source procurement from International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), Duns 054027347, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The membership provides DoD participation in INCITS working groups for Cyber Security, Distributed Application Platforms & Services, and Computer Graphics & Image Processing, which are essential for maintaining DODIN cybersecurity and DoD's transformation to a Joint Information Environment. The current INCITS membership expires November 30, 2024, and the procurement includes a base year with four additional option years. The sole source justification is based on INCITS being the only organization that can provide these specific memberships, as they are not available through government-wide acquisition contracts or other contractors.
