Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Clear Form from NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers establishing a sole source justification for software licensing and support services.

Navy Region Northwest (NRNW) requires renewal of Hirsch Velocity suite software licenses and an extended Software Service Agreement (SSA) for security and emergency management functions. The existing closed-loop system, called Hirsch/Velocity (HVEL version 3.X), operates the Region-wide intrusion detection and alarm system. The requirement mandates maintaining current software licensing per SECNAV 5230.15 and Department of Navy DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) standards to ensure the system maintains current certification with an Authority to Operate (ATO). The SSA is the only product compatible with the existing system that holds valid Authority to Operate status. The document identifies Hirsch/Identiv, Inc. as the sole source manufacturer and confirms that the requested material and service represent the minimum requirements of the government. Competition is precluded due to direct replacement parts for existing equipment and the proprietary nature of the Velocity suite software, which integrates with the Consolidated Aided Dispatch (CAD) program and the Navy's current alarm system licensing requirements. Vendor-provided patches are essential for rapidly mitigating identified operational problems and security vulnerabilities.
