26-SIMACQ-E30-0026 Trellix

The U.S. Navy, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, Virginia Beach Detachment, has executed a sole-source award for the Trellix Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) under solicitation number 26-SIMACQ-E30-0026, with a contract value estimated at $350,000. The procurement was justified under FAR 6.302-1 and statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the proprietary nature of the Trellix platform, which is fully integrated into existing Department of Defense cybersecurity infrastructure. The primary objective is to renew expiring licenses to ensure uninterrupted endpoint protection, including data loss prevention, threat detection and response, asset visibility, and comply-to-connect enforcement, without requiring revalidation of Authority to Operate or introducing operational delays and security risks associated with vendor transition. Performance is based at Port Hueneme, California, with all deliverables tied to maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility with current systems managed under the ePolicy Orchestrator framework. The contract was awarded without competition, as no alternative solution meets technical and interoperability requirements, and no competitive evaluation factors or scoring criteria were applied. The acquisition was facilitated through NASA’s SEWP Federal Supply Schedule, and while pricing is estimated, no detailed line-item breakdowns or CLIN structures are provided. Payment and administrative details are managed from the Port Hueneme procurement office, though specific contracting officer, COR, or COTR contacts are not disclosed. The period of performance aligns with a one-year license renewal cycle, and no option periods, packaging requirements, inspection standards, or offeror certifications were specified in the documentation beyond the agency’s formal sole-source justification.
