Asply Guise, Milton Keynes United Kingdom, MK17 8HZ

3. Description of the Single Sign On Plugin (SSO) required and required delivery date/period of performance.

This requirement is to purchase the maintenance for the Single Sign On (SSO). SSO is a software plugin which allows Public Key Infrastructure / Common Access Card (PKI/CAC) login for the Remedy Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) system.

Required Delivery date: Base Period - 6/8/2018 – 6/7/2019 with (4) Option Years

4. Specific characteristics of the Single Sign On Plugin (SSO) material that limit the availability to a single source e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.

Space and Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Atlantic supports an enterprise support desk as part of the Navy 311 infrastructure. Navy 311 is a single point of customer service entry into the shore infrastructure and network of Fleet support providers. The SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic service desk handles approximately 500,000 requests annually.

Many of these requests involve password and account management. The SSO software will ensure a “Single Sign On” capability for thousands of our Remedy users, significantly improving service, speed response time on these issues, and help lower costs.

Only the SSO can provide the critical functionality as it is specifically designed for this singular purpose. The ability to enhance our license monitoring and system performance make is critical with more and more users relying on our environment. The cost of this tool is considered minimal, but impact of not having such a tool when needed will be extremely costly.

J Systems Solutions is based out of the United Kingdom and COMPSEC is the only United States based reseller of the SSO application.

This solution is already integrated into our existing Remedy infrastructure and maintenance support for all applications is required by the Department of the Navy. This procurement is required to maintain our maintenance agreement so that we can continue to receive patches that address application issues as well as patches that address and correct security vulnerabilities.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system:

The SSO is a snap on module for our Remedy Automated Reporting System and ITSM platforms. Software must be specifically suited to this specific environment. The cost of this feature is significantly less than the current “custom” coding and development efforts required to sustain current SSO capability. The low cost of this tool will save over $100,000 in customization and maintenance of our existing code. Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO) initiative to ensure applications and tool sets to be ITSM and Information Technology Information Library (ITIL) compliant are a key driver for this capability.

A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data and corresponding level of Government rights (if any) are described as follows:

N/A

These are “direct replacement” parts/components for existing equipment and similar parts/components will not meet the Navy’s requirement.
