3. Identification of the justification rationale.

The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s need.

4. Description of the item or service required, statement that the requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government, the estimated cost, and required delivery date or performance period.

L3 is a distributer of the Hawkeye III Lite Enclave. However, to fully operate the system an additional application that provides for a secured VTC along with an IP phone is needed.

Currently, NCIS doesn’t have any equipment for forward deployment to be able to successfully stand up our their own NIPR, SIPR and VTC networks. This would allow NCIS to stand up their own network to gain access to their own enclaves without relying on

USMC, ARMY or NAVY networks as we have traditionally done in the past. This would also allow NCIS total anonymity during investigations downrange. No other brand of the application is allowed to be added to the Enclave.

5. Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to this/these source(s) (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this/these suggested source(s) can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. Provide a description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results OR a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

The application must be compatible in all aspects with existing system Hawkeye III Lite presently installed/performing.
