Justification and Approval for: Single Source Brand Name

1. REQUISITION NUMBER: 6100-OCIO-25-0028 ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE:

2. Description of supplies or Services Required to Meet Agency:

Manage DNS/DHCP services and IP addresses from a single location; gain extensive reporting, auditing and security capabilities and automatically log all IP-related operations; granular controls over security levels not natively available on Windows server;

connect IP addresses with end-user identities, mapped into a single IPAM database.

3. Justification for Limited Competition:

Infoblox is an industry leading solution to provide secure and reliable management and reporting for DNS and DHCP and integrates closely with security and infrastructure systems already in place at USITC. It provides a standard and scalable platform to provide central administration for DNS and DHCP, in addition to an enhanced layer of protection against DDoS and other attacks. Infoblox will also allow us to more closely comply with federal requirements such as CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model.

Competition is supported by granting VARs the opportunity to submit proposals. Investing in separate products would increase cost and overhead relating to installation, maintenance, and training.

5. Requiring Officer's Certification:

I certify that the facts and representations in this justification, included herein, meet the Government's need and that the supporting data which forms the basis for this justification is complete and accurate.
