Statement of Requirements.pdf

This is a Statement of Need for Hardware/Software from the Defense Intelligence Agency's Office of the Inspector General for IDEA Data Analysis Software acquisition.

The DIA OIG requires advanced data analysis software to support its statutory mandate under the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2010 and the Chief Financial Officer Act of 1990, enabling independent audits of DIA's financial statements by Ernst & Young, LLP. Current tools such as Microsoft Office Suite lack sufficient depth for quantitative analysis, statistical sampling, and efficient handling of large datasets. The software must be delivered by July 30, 2026, under a twelve-month base period with four twelve-month option periods. The contractor shall provide 15 corporate licenses of IDEA Data Analysis Software (Version 13 or latest), perpetual or term licenses, along with maintenance, 24x7 technical support, operations manual, manufacturer guide, and access to a contractor portal.

The required solution must include six core capabilities: data ingestion from multiple sources without custom middleware; quantitative analytics and data merging supporting enterprise-scale analysis; advanced statistical sampling compliant with federal auditing standards; immutable audit trails with FIPS-compliant encryption and OIG-format reporting; seamless integration with DIA's CIO-compliant Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure on a server-based architecture; and OIG-specific Type Authorization, FISMA High-Impact Validation, and FIPS-compliant encryption certifications. Software licenses shall be delivered electronically to the Contracting Officer's Representative at Bradley.willet2@dodiis.mil, with the COR responsible for verifying all deliverables and ensuring 24x7 technical support maintenance.
