Eligibility & Justification
This is a sole-source award justification, not a competitive solicitation. The justification cites statutory exceptions for unusual and compelling urgency and the unique/highly specialized nature of services provided by Ingalls. Ingalls is already embedded with the 17th TRG and possesses existing familiarity with their cybersecurity environment, RMF workflows, and documentation. Market research was conducted, but no alternative source was identified that could assume responsibility within the required timeframe without unacceptable mission risk, highlighting mission-critical timing constraints and the risk of system shut-down.
Submission & Evaluation
As this is a justification for a sole-source award, there are no proposal submission or evaluation criteria detailed for potential bidders. The justification will be made publicly available no later than 14 days after the award.
