DIU Lastwall MFA Support JA_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification under Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items issued by the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).

The contracting activity seeks to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to Lastwall Corp., located at 4024 40th Street North, Arlington, VA 22207, for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) services. The contract will be funded with FY 2026 RDT&E funds and will run for 12 months from May 22, 2026 through May 21, 2027. The services include customized upgrades and migration applications for DIU's FedRAMP platform, enhancements to existing security modules, upgrades to the Minesweeper module, and platform professional support services. The NAICS code is 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services), and the PSC is DA10 (IT and Telecom—Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) as the authority for the sole source award. The government determined that Lastwall is the only vendor capable of providing customized MFA services compatible with DIU's current IT infrastructure and that transitioning to another vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost, unacceptable operational risks, and security vulnerabilities. Market research identified two interested sources (Capital Secure Systems LLC and LexisNexis), but neither demonstrated the required capabilities. The contracting officer determined anticipated prices will be fair and reasonable based on RFO 12.204(a) techniques and independent cost estimates.
