    The document is a Standard Form 1449,
    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to acquire brand-name only Okta Identity Cloud Software and Maintenance. This acquisition is crucial for establishing a unified, cloud-based digital identity solution to enhance operational efficiency, security, and identity management across NTSB's cloud services and externally hosted platforms. The NTSB requires a FedRAMP-authorized, 100% cloud-native identity and access management platform that supports PIV-based authentication and complies with FISMA and federal cybersecurity directives. Okta Identity Cloud is the only purely cloud-based identity service that meets the NTSB's specific security and integration requirements, including FedRAMP authorization, FIPS 140-2 certification for MFA, and integration with Zscaler Security Cloud. The initial Request for Quotation (RFQ) through GSA eBuy was unsuccessful due to vendors not holding Okta products on their own GSA schedules, necessitating an open market procurement. The NTSB will continue to monitor the market for future competitive solutions.
    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is soliciting quotes for the renewal of Okta Identity Cloud Software License and Maintenance (PUR250202). The requirement is for a one-year period, from September 9, 2025, to September 8, 2026. The procurement includes various Okta IT products such as Lifecycle Management, MFA, Single Sign-On, Universal Directory, Cell Add-On, and a Premier Success Plan - Silver. The NTSB plans to award a single Firm Fixed Price purchase order to the vendor offering the best value, considering both price and technical acceptability. Technical acceptability, which includes meeting brand name specifications, quantities, and delivery dates, along with being an authorized reseller, is significantly more important than price. However, price becomes more critical as non-price factors become equal. Quotes must be submitted by 12:00 pm ET on September 22, 2025, and questions are due by 12:00 pm ET on September 18, 2025, both to Ciara.Bond@ntsb.gov.
