The justification cites FAR 16.507-7, items peculiar to one manufacturer, on the basis that Corelight Inc. is the only vendor providing a Zeek-Suricata software bundle certified as compliant with NSA's "Raise the Bar" standards and seamlessly integrating with the Bureau of Intelligence & Research Technology & Innovation Office's existing enterprise detection analytics and SOC workflows.

Additionally, the order includes 400 hours of cleared services labor. Period of performance is one year, ending September 20, 2027. The contract is firm fixed price with FOB destination delivery.
