About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a brand-name exception to competitive procurement requirements under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), operating under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), seeks to award a delivery order for Entuity Licensing support and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services through Park Place Technologies via the NASA SEWP V contract vehicle. The requirement is for one year of monitoring software plus O&M support for ICE's network infrastructure, delivering real-time visibility into the network environment to enable proactive monitoring, automated alerts, performance analytics, and fault detection. The contract is Firm Fixed Price, funded through Annual Base funding Operations for Fiscal Year 2026, with a 12-month performance period for the base period.
The justification establishes that Entuity is the sole suitable product for ICE's requirements based on market research conducted in February 2026. ICE determined that Entuity was the only application among several evaluated options (CA/Broadcom, OPSView, and NetScout) capable of providing automated operation and Application Path Analysis features necessary for the agency's network management needs. The contracting officer certified that anticipated pricing is fair and reasonable based on adequate price competition among multiple NASA SEWP V vendors offering brand-name Entuity products. The document notes that while the infrastructure is unlikely to change before contract end, ICE will solicit additional authorized Entuity resellers to increase competition. Since the total dollar value exceeds $40,000, the justification and supporting documentation will be provided to all IDIQ contract awardees in accordance with RFO FAR 16.507-7(c)(1)(ii).
