Explain what makes this FSS contractor the only responsible source, i.e., Does this proposed FSS contractor have facilities or equipment that are specialized and vital to the effort? Is the proposed contractor the only one that can meet critical schedules? Does the proposed contractor have prior experience of a highly specialized nature vital to the effort? Does the FSS vendor have an exclusive licensing agreement? Why won't any other product or service satisfy the need? Describe market survey and analysis efforts leading to this conclusion. FAR 8.405-6(b)(2) - The new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures (8.405-1 and 8.405-2).

DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED FSS CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES USE OF THE AUTHORiTY CITED. The SAS Software products were purchased and integrated into the IRS security infrastructure by the Computer Security Incident Response Center (CSIRC) several years ago. The IRS relies on multiple security vendors with intrusion detection system (IDS) sensors placed throughout the enterprise to provide a robust security architecture and defense in depth. The SAS Software is a critical component of the existing IRS security infrastructure and integrated with existing processes, procedures, and other technologies. Without this renewal of existing SAS Software components, the IRS will not be able to meet IRS federal mandated monitoring and intrusion detection requirements. Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) 10.8.1.4.3.2 requires that intrusion methods be configured to have system-wide detection capabilities and utilize automated features for attack detection and reaction. IRM 10.8.1.4.3.2 also requires intrusion detection systems be updated with new indicators/signatures made available by Treasury CSIRC (TCSIRC); the SAS Software has already been implemented to meet these requirements and must be renewed. The SAS Software is sold by multiple vendors off the Federal Supply Schedule. This requirement will be competed amongst those vendors. B. DESCRiBE THE MARKET RESEARCH THAT WAS CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH (E.G., SEARCH ON E-LIBRARY AT HTTP;//WWW.GSA.GOV/FSS; HISTORiCAL ORDERING INFORMATION, FEDBIZOPPS SYNOPSIS). SYNOPSIS IS NOT REQUIRED FOR FSS PROCUREMENTS, BUT MAY BE USED. ALSO, LIST ANY FSS SOURCES THAT EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN WRiTING IN THE ORDER AND THE RESULTS OF THAT INTEREST. The brand name rationale and the requirement will be synopsized on GSA's e-buy as a brand name acquisition. Prior to the original selection of this product, the IRS conducted market research and evaluated other IDS products including McAfee, Juniper, and Internet Security Systems (ISS). C. LIST THE ACTIONS THE BUREAU WILL TAKE TO PROMOTE FSS ORDERING PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN FAR 8.405 ON ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITIONS FOR SIMILAR SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. This requirement is sold by multiple resellers and this acquisition will be competed using FSS ordering procedures. D. STATEMENT THAT REQUIREMENT DOES NOT RESULT FROM A LACK OF PLANNING OR THE EXPIRATION OF FUNDS. This requirement does not result frorn a lack of planning or the expiration of funds.
