RUBRIK SOFTWARE

This document is a brand name/sole source justification for the procurement of Rubrik Security Cloud software and related services and hardware for NSWC Corona Code PA21. The justification outlines the minimum requirements, citing regulatory authorities such as FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) and FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(1)(B) to permit other than full and open competition. The rationale emphasizes the proprietary Zero Trust architecture of Rubrik, which provides superior data resilience, rapid recovery from cyber incidents, and compliance with stringent federal security standards. Procuring another brand would lead to unacceptable delays (approximately six months) due to compatibility issues and the need for new research and development, posing significant risks to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (ABMD) enclave's continuous support requirements. The document certifies that this sole-source acquisition is in the best interest of the Government to prevent substantial duplication of costs and maintain critical mission capabilities against sophisticated cyber threats.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, requires Rubrik solutions for critical application and database backups to ensure robust data protection, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience. The procurement includes Rubrik Professional Services for onsite installation, remote consulting, Rubrik Security Cloud – Private, Enterprise Edition, Non-Returnable Disk Service, and support for R7000-3 hardware and appliance. Additionally, the requirement specifies the R7424 Appliance, fiber optic cables, and SFP+ transceivers. Contractors must be authorized dealers or resellers and provide proof of authorization. Deliveries are scheduled for July 20, 2026, to NSWC Corona Division, Norco, CA. Packaging must comply with ASTM-D-3951-18, and specific marking and packing list requirements apply. Prohibited packing materials include asbestos, excelsior, newspaper, shredded paper, yellow wrapping, and loose-fill polystyrene for shipboard use. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination. The document also details Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) payment instructions, government points of contact, and hours of operation, emphasizing the government's sales tax exemption and the contractor's responsibility for permits and compliance.
