The requirement aims to address cybersecurity gaps by implementing a cloud-native identity management solution that supports Personal Identity Verification (PIV) authentication and meets FedRAMP and FIPS 140-2 security standards. Offerors must be authorized resellers and submit quotes that meet brand name specifications, with evaluation based on Technical Acceptability and Price factors, where technical requirements are significantly more important than price.
