About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command. It describes the requirement for data classification software to identify and secure sensitive data on the base share drive. The Air Force conducted market research and determined that Mundo Systems Inc. holds the exclusive intellectual property rights to a containerized version of the Netwrix Data Classification software, which is necessary to enable seamless transition to the cloud environment. As Mundo Systems Inc. is the sole provider of this specific containerized solution, the Air Force is proposing to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Mundo Systems Inc. for the Netwrix Data Classification Subscription. The applicable NAICS code is 513210 with a size standard of $47.0M. The Air Force intends to proceed with this sole-source action, with the requirement planned for award in FY25. Interested parties are requested to provide written responses by 4:30 PM CDT on September 25, 2024.

MEMORANDUM FOR 82 CONS/PKA
FROM: 82 CS
SUBJECT: Sole Source Requirements Justification
1. Description of the Supplies/Services: 82 CS requires data classification software to identify and properly secure sensitive content/data located on the base share drive.
2. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Efforts were made to find Data Classification software, but only Mundo Systems Inc offered it in a containerized version. The containerized version allows the software to run reliably across different computing environments, on-premises or in the GovCloud. This ability will ensure seamless transition into cloud environment and will not require additional software for cloud migration, which could lead to cost savings in the future.
3. Market Research: Mundo Systems Inc. retains exclusive intellectual property rights on the containerized version of the software. These rights prevent any other entity or reseller from reproducing, distributing, or selling the software container without direct authorization from Mundo Systems Inc. Given the intellectual property rights held by Mundo Systems Inc., no other Netwrix Partner reseller has the ability or the right to resell this specific containerized version.
This results in a unique market condition where Mundo Systems Inc. is the sole provider of the Netwrix Data Classification Software in a Containerized form.
4. Other Factors: None
5. A Statement Of The Actions, If Any, The Agency May Take To Remove Or Overcome Any Barriers To Competition Before Making Subsequent Acquisitions For The Supplies Or Services Required. None
