Gigamon FY27

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is seeking to renew its software license for Gigamon, a network traffic monitoring platform that must be deployed on-premises using physical TAPs to ensure in-line placement within both traditional and cloud-based network infrastructures. These TAPs are required to support copper and fiber optic connections with a minimum bandwidth capacity of 100GB, include active TAPs for amplification and mirroring, and provide passive TAP options to minimize network interference. The system must offer advanced filtering capabilities for source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, protocols, VLANs, MAC addresses, and content, including the ability to analyze encrypted SSL/TLS traffic. Remote and centralized management is mandatory, ensuring operational efficiency across distributed environments. Additionally, the TAP system must be fully compliant with the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework to enable seamless integration with federal cybersecurity platforms. Deployment must occur primarily at the Camp Springs, Maryland facility, and the procurement is reserved under the 8(a) program, indicating eligibility for small disadvantaged businesses. The contract is managed through the Department of Homeland Security, with primary points of contact including Samona Barnett and Charnique Thomas for technical inquiries, and Scott Stewart serving as the Small Business Specialist to facilitate participation from eligible small businesses. The solicitation is forecasted under NAICS code 541519 for other computer-related services, and while no formal solicitation number is listed, the intent to renew the existing Gigamon license signals an ongoing commitment to secure, high-capacity network visibility.
