Quick Summary
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued Amendment 01 (AMD01) to a Justification & Approval (J&A) for the "Cyber Defender" requirement. This amendment increases the value and scope of an existing Multiple Award Contract by expanding Impact Level (IL) 5 and IL6 capacity, specifically increasing IL6 licenses from 55,000 to 100,000 in Option Period 2.
Scope of Change
This amendment to the J&A, which pertains to Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 16.5 Acquisitions, grants an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the specified growth. The increase in capacity for IL5 and IL6 is a Government-required expansion that was not included in the original Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The affected section is "NATURE/DESCRIPTION OF ACTION(S)". The underlying requirement, "Cyber Defender," involves Computing Delivered As A Service In A Public Or Private Cloud Environment (Product Service Code DB10).
