DMCC ICS Licenses

Added: Sep 29, 2015 4:21 pm The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), Contracting Division, Systems Section (DITCO/PL8223), 2300 East Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5406, intends to issue a sole source award to CellCrypt to provide licenses for 1,000 Department of Defense (DoD) Mobility Classified Capability (DMCC) Integrated Commercial Solution (ICS) Secret (DMCC-S) devices.

These licenses must be purchased through Cellcrypt due to the secure baseline configuration of the classified capability on the device. The DMCC ICS device baseline configurations ensure interoperability amongst the DMCC components providing the following capabilities; device integrity, secure browsing, secure email, secure voice, internet protocol security, virtual private network connectivity, firmware over the air, policy enforcement and mobile device management. The license required to meet the DMCC secure voice capability is specific to the CellCrypt application, enabling the DMCC-S device to register with a secure call manager. CellCrypt is an approved Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application on the Commercial Solutions for Classified Program (CfSC) list and has completed National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) validation in accordance with the Mobile Access Capability Package (MACP).

The DMCC is a joint effort between the DISA and the National Security Administration(NSA). In June 2014, the NSA competitively awarded integration contract, H98230-14-C-0596, to meet the DMCC Program needs. In addition to providing DISA with secure DMCC-S devices, this contract provided for the CellCrypt application and associated licensing. However, these licenses expire 31 October 2015 and must be renewed to prevent Information Assurance (IA) security gaps on the device. The CellCrypt license ensures the registered DMCC-S user's device can communcate securely.

CellCrypt is the only approved, NIAP certified mobile application available to communicate securely to the call manager. There are no alternative security licenses that will communicate and support this device configuration. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the determination to issue a sole-source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a request for proposal.

It is the Government's intent to award a firm-fixed price contract in October 2015 with a period of performance of one year.
